Adaptation of the zombie romance novel which made allusions to Romeo and Juliet. A young zombie wanders through the devastation of the apocalypse, craving human brains to get high on their memories. One female brain makes him fall in love with the…
The summary sounds a bit silly, but honestly, I’m interested (more in the book than in the movie - and changes are already obvious even from the summary unless they made a mistake - but whatevs). I am so over the “Stop ruining our monsters! They have to be this way or it’s automatically bad! You can’t do that, don’t even try!” nonsense I’m seeing in most of the reblogs of this.
Because, like… did anyone stop and go read a review or two of this book before screaming, “TWILIGHT WITH ZOMBIES OMG STOP RUINING OUR MONSTERS!!!!”? Reviews that note that it doesn’t really read like Twilight, that it’s better written (even the worst reviews I’ve read have noted this), and that it’s actually a horror story as well as romance? That is, by and large, the reaction I’m seeing in reviews, both professional and consumer. Do people realize that Simon Pegg recommended the book (by, in fact, stating “Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion is not Twilight with zombies.” and noting that he loved it)? Yeah, so did Meyer, but that doesn’t automatically make the book like Twilight or make it awful.
None of the above necessarily means the book is good or that it doesn’t have issues - I’ll be approaching it in a leery fashion if I pick it up. That isn’t simply because it has a zombie as a love interest, however; it’s because of some issues I’ve seen noted about pacing, characterization, and fully realizing the romantic aspect in a more believable fashion. A zombie love story that incorporates the idea of a decomposed (if not too terribly decomposed), brain-eating, almost non-verbally-communicating zombie and attempts to take realism into consideration is going to be hard to pull off. I’m of the mind that it could be done, but I don’t know if it sounds like this book really did it. Still, it seems like the author tried.
(I am not getting down on you, Owen, just the general reaction. Sorry. xD)
