Book Review - Warm Bodies

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.

- The book synopsis

I don't know what it is I just want to write a review of every book I have read even though I have only had this blog for about 3 days haha.
So here is another one.

Spoilers!

I have never actually read a zombie book before so this was a whole new imaginary world for me.
So we have a zombie called 'R' and at first he seems to be doing what a typical zombie would be doing. Killing humans and eating their brains.
Along with his fellow zombie friend 'M' they go to a human hide out because they are hungry. (This could only mean more brain eating.)

The eating bit is a bit to detailed in my opinion and I was cringing just reading it. There, the zombies kill every human they see until 'R' notices a girl sitting in the corner.
And because he had just killed her boyfriend and ate his brain he knows her name which I thought was strange but it seemed the only way to fit at the time. -boyfriends memories floods his mind-

Somehow 'R' gets Julie - the girl to come back with him to a zombie infested airport. If I were her,  I wouldn't have done such a thing. I mean she just watched these things kill the people around her.

So we are going through the book pages now and the characters are becoming a bit more developed. I still don't understand why the zombies aren't crawling over each other just to get a taste of her because you know she is human.

-Through more pages-

'R' becomes protective over Julie after seeing more and more of her boyfriends memories.
I find Julie and 'R' friendship a bit weird because I kept thinking that he could turn on her and eat her because his hunger got the better of him.
But having Julie near is changing him, making him not want to eat anyone at all. (Now here comes the zombie changing thing)
'R' believes he is changing because of Julie but hey I've never heard of this happening in any other book so why not?

The characters are this point are becoming more understandable with the way they are thinking, you would of thought sometimes 'R' was human. 

So Julie can't stay at that airport forever so she decides she wants to go the safe base which is were the humans live.
I swear this base is only mentioned a few times that I almost forgot about it.

'So to avoid any more spoilers'

The characters in the book are different and can easily be liked. I mean over the coarse of reading this book I began to understand and like them. Even though the setting/scenes were lacking detail I did enjoy the book.
