R is his name, and the story is told from his mind...his perspective. The catch is, he's a zombie. His name is "R" because that is all he can remember and pronounce of his name. Otherwise, his memory is pretty much wiped. Warm Bodies tells the story of R, his struggles as a zombie, and how the story gets both complicated and intriguing when he begins to fall for a human. He begins to have feelings for her and thoughts once he eats a young boy's brain and sees that boy's life. Then every thing begins to change, for him, for the non-dead, and for the other zombies. For his first novel, Isaac Marion writes very well. I really enjoyed the story between R and Julie. The characters we're very likeable and easy to attach to. Though there were some small points that I thought did not fit the storyline or that of a zombie, it was really good. It was a fresh piece of work. But, hey, I can finally say I've been in the mind of a zombie. ;)
