MEDIA REVIEWS
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 MarionA mesmerising evolution of a classic contemporary mythWarm 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 brainsA disarming writer,ruefully humorous,knowingly cinematic in scope. This is a slacker-zombie novel with a heartWarm Bodies is a terrific book -a compelling literary fantasy which is also a strange and affecting pop-culture parable
