Is your Body Warm?
I had no earthly idea that WARM BODIES was a book before it was a movie. Because I love watching the extras on a DVD, I quickly learned the truth. It did not take me long at all to purchase a copy of the book by Isaac Marion--or to finish reading it!
Just like the movie, the book is fun, quirky, weird, and everything else in between. It has romance for the romantic soul. It has blood and gore for the horror fan. It has a father/daughter relationship for those who like family-oriented stories. There are simple friendships as well as complicated friendships and even the oddest friendships ever written about.
My favorite part of the book has to be the oxymorons throughout. They're in the movie, but I found them funnier in the book. Of course, a couple of the ones in the movie had me laughing so hysterically that I realized quickly that if I had seen the movie in the theater as I'd originally planned (I just never made it), I would have been thrown out!
It was the same way reading the book. I laughed out loud. I cried out in disgust. I spoke to no one listening because no one was in the room with me.
I loved every word and every minute of reading it! What was most surprising about the reading, I have to say before bringing this to a close, were the difficult/challenging words throughout! Thankfully I read it on my Nook, so all I had to do was click on the word to look it up, but that was completely unexpected!
If you like zombie stories, you'll love WARM BODIES (book or movie). If you like love stories, you'll love WARM BODIES. If you like horror flicks/stories, you'll like WARM BODIES. If you like to laugh, you'll like WARM BODIES.
BTW: there is already a Prequel: THE NEW HUNGER (you can only get it online (an ebook)--let me know and I'll send you a link) and Isaac Marion is currently working on a sequel. I can hardly wait!
If you don't like WARM BODIES, then your body obviously isn't warm!!!!!! :)
