Waiting on Wednesday: Warm Bodies

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event by Jill at Breaking the Spine.


This week I am waiting on.....


Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion


This book will be out in May 2011.


A zombie who yearns for a better life ends up falling in love—with a human—in this astonishingly original debut novel.

R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He doesn’t enjoy killing people; he enjoys riding escalators and listening to Frank Sinatra. He is a little different from his fellow Dead.

Not just another zombie novel, Warm Bodies is funny, scary, and deeply moving.

    I'm not very into zombie books... (haven't read one yet) But a zombie falling in love with a human? Interesting.

    As for your question, yes I DEFINITELY recommend the Inheritance Cycle books. I read Eragon in something like 3rd grade (Lol I'm young) and it's one of those books that I credit my love of reading to.

    @Midnight Bloom - I hope to finish and have my review up this weekend. I need it to come out so I can talk to others about it.

    Wow, this looks cool! I never heard of it before. I'm interested in reading from a zombie's POV.

    @Lucia - I'm not a huge zombie fan, but I do like Carrie Ryan's stuff. I thought I'd give this one a try and it was a great decision. It is so much more than just a zombie book.

    @P.E. - I can't think of any other book where it is from the zombie's perspective. I think it's such an interesting take on the zombie genre.

    I have yet to read a zombie book (I have Forest of Hands and Teeth patiently waiting on my shelf!), so this looks really interesting. I think it's already added to my TBR list, too :D.

    Thank you for your comment!

    Oh wow, I'm not really a fan of zombies, because most of the zombie's I've come across are just gross. But, this book sounds like it's gonna put a wickedly awesome spin on them and it sounds like something I'd definitely be interested in reading. :)

    This one sounds crazy! Wow. I can't wait to see what you think of it! That has to be one of the most bizarre stories I have ever heard of.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
