I finally got round to reading Warm Bodies, it didn't take me long at all really. A couple of hours if that, mainly because I refused to put the book down until I finished it. This is a review (kind of, there will be spoilers) of the book. I had seen the film before the book, so R in my head was already set to Nicholas Hoult (absolute god of an actor) which actually even the voice of R (in my head) sounded like Nicholas, for the film it was definitely a good casting choice. It is the first Zombie novel I have ever read, and I loved it. Reading R's thoughts, and seeing him becoming human throughout the novel, it was amazing. There wasn't a point in the book where I was bored, however, I understand the whole connection with Perry but I kind of disliked the changed in narrative where it was about Perry experiences and the parts where R is inside the stadium and the 'voices' speak to him about the past and ongoings of the place, they kind of irritated me because they were between every other paragraph and it was kind frustrating because I was anxious about R reaching Julie, I get why they were there, they don't only allowed to us to know more but they were a form of building anticipation. That aside there wasn't anything I wish hadn't happened. It was definitely interesting, the pace was good and I liked the ending. It left from for more to happen but it also kind of finalised it, so I am not left reeling with thoughts and having sleepless nights over the characters and what could happen next (yes I do that!) which I am thankful for. When I finished it, and then noticed there was a prequel which I kind of felt let down, I didn't know there was a prequel and if I had known I would have obviously read that first, but nonetheless I will be purchasing the prequel to read. I really liked R, he is (was) a pretty cool Zombie, and M, M made me laugh, he was a great character. I think that's what I liked most about the book, it wasn't just a Zombie apocalyptic genre, it had elements of Comedy, Romance and possibly even Teen Fiction as well as Action, it is a pretty diverse book. I do recommend the book, it's fun and it's interesting and it isn't too much. It isn't overly emotional, I felt sane afterwards if that helps. So this was the book of the week review, first of many to come. They will get better the reviews I promise, and I think the next book I will be reading and reviewing is Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl!
Hiya!
Welcome to my bookish ramblings and creative writing.
