Warm Bodies. Entry One

This entry covers pages 3 -52.

So far what I really love about this book is that is narrated by a zombie, I think that for the writer was a difficult but also a great experience; to give a voice to something (or someone) that we have always thought was empty.
        This book gives us an interesting and a very entertaining reading which I am enjoying a lot. The thing that I love the most is what "R", the principal character, narrates what he thinks of being Death, how we wishes to feel something, to even be able to produce a smile and what he thinks of his "zombie society". He constantly remember's himself all the things they do to feel something similar to be alive, to feel something else that eager. He gives a whole new perspective to the zombie idea we had, and I just love that, he gives us explanations for the zombie cliches such as their need for brains, which is explained at the book with their need to feel alive again because by eating the brain they can "live" and stole that person's memories and experiences.
        All that he says in the book makes you realize how sad he is, how empty he feels, but he never uses this kind of words to describe himself for the same reason that he doesn't know what they used to mean or feel.

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion


R is having a no-life crisis—he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he’d rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization. 
And then he meets a girl. 
First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R’s gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn’t want to eat this girl—although she looks delicious—he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can’t imagine, and their hopeless world won’t change without a fight.
