Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

R is tired of the same old thing day after day: shuffling around the same airport, bumping into the same bodies, even wearing the same clothes. But then, R is a zombie. He has no memories of his life before he was a zombie and this is just what zombies do. One day, R goes with a hunting group to find food and something amazing happens. As he's eating his victim's brain, he sees the victim's memories. The memories are mainly of a girl, and R becomes obsessed with finding her, which isn't hard since she's in the same room. R protects her from the other zombies, and so begins a very complicated relationship between R and Julie, zombie and human. Little do they know that their relationship just may change the world.

First off, I am not a zombie person. At all. I almost didn't read this book because zombies? Really? I am so glad that I did! The story is told from R's point of view, which brings some much needed humor to the book. Of course, there's the whole eating people thing in there, but you almost overlook it while you're reading because you're so enthralled with this complicated character. I know, I know, how can a zombie be complicated? R manages it, and then some. Definitely don't miss this one!
