Critics Review

I never thought I could care so passionately for a zombie. Isaac Marion has created the most unexpected romantic lead I’ve ever encountered, and rewritten the entire concept of what it means to be a zombie in the process. This story stayed with me long after I finished reading it. I eagerly await the next book by Isaac Marion – STEPHENIE MEYERA mesmerising evolution of a classic contemporary myth – Simon PeggWarm Bodies is a strange and unexpected treat. R is the thinking woman’s zombie - though somewhat grey-skinned and monosyllabic, he could be the perfect boyfriend, if he could manage to refrain from eating you. This is a wonderful book, elegantly written, touching and fun, as delightful as a mouthful of fresh brains – AUDREY NIFFENEGGERA disarming writer, ruefully humorous, knowingly cinematic in scope. This is a slacker-zombie novel with a heart * Guardian *Warm Bodies is a terrific book - a compelling literary fantasy which is also a strange and affecting pop-culture parable – Nick Harkaway, author of The Gone-Away WorldSweet and darkly witty, and, in R, offers a laconically charming hero… Set against the backdrop of this grim world, the life-and-death-changing love affair that develops is wryly playful, cinematic and ultimately moving - through the lost lives of the dead we are able relish life in all its messy, dishevelled gory glory * Time Out *Has there been a more sympathetic monster since Frankenstein’s? * Financial Times *Enormous fun * Marie Claire *So sexy it makes Twilight look anaemic * News of the World *A starry-eyed, sweetly comic story about the humanising power of love, for this is Romeo and Juliet…with zombies * The Bookseller *
