Warm Bodies
In the book, Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion, characters develop fairly quickly throughout the novel. The main character, R, is a zombie. He roams around the same abandoned airport every day, has a best friend, M, and has a pretty dark life. Until one day, when the living came and invaded the airport, trying to shoot the corpses down. R has a change of heart (if he had a beating one) and decides to rescue a girl, Julie. What Julie doesn't know is that, like, 10 minutes ago, R devoured her boyfriend, Perry. Julie is very scared and shy when R first abducts her. Throughout the novel, R wonders why he rescued her. Was he different? Was he crazy? Julie learns to adapt to his life and becomes close with R. They make several daring adventures for frozen pad thai noodles or taking a still- working car out on a drive. I am currently at the part in the novel when R and Julie have just become very close. Julie is showing her bubbly, giggly personality, and R is getting warmer. Literally. What I have noticed about the novel's characters is that they are very similar to the ones in Romeo and Juliet. For example, R for Romeo, Julie for Juliet, and M for Mercutio, Romeo's closest friend in the story Romeo and Juliet. I'm enjoying the book and can't wait to finish! :)

I really loved Warm Bodies! It was such a detailed book and it was interesting to watch the movie and compare the two. I never thought about the relation to Romeo and Juliet but that is another creative aspect of the book and movie!

ReplyDeleteI saw the movie and loved it! I am thinking about reading the book and now that I know a little more about it, I probably will!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book! But at the same time it sounds scary, I wonder if Julie will find out that R ate her boyfriend...
