Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies, #1)

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The protagonist of Warm Bodies is R, a zombie who cannot remember his name beyond that single letter. He is verbose compared to other zombies, although his main recreation is still riding escalators around the airport in which he lives. I kind of felt like the escalator riding was a shout out to Dawn of the Dead and it made me happy. The first few chapters of the book are the strongest parts of the book. I think they must have been polished over and over again and they contrast the rest of the b...more

The only reason I can think of is that I really don't want my first read glow to go away. You know that time after you read a really spectacular book when you're just sitting around, thinking about how wonderful it was and going over passages you loved? I think I've been doing that for two weeks now. Every time I think about Warm Bodies, I wonder at how good it was.

Warm Bodies follows R, a zombie unlike those we normally read about. R thinks, deeply, about things, speaks five syllables in a row, and has real dreams. He can't remember his life, but has a fascination with life; longing to know who he was and what he did. When R eats the brain of a teenage boy, he experiences flashbacks into the boy's life, mostly featuring his first love, Julie. R becomes enthralled with Julie and they begin a tenuous relationship unlike any in this barren world before. As Julie and R become closer, both experience impossible changes; changes that could possibly affect the entire world.

Words cannot explain how much I loved R and his voice. From the first page, I knew his narration was different. Because he can't speak but a word or two at a time, most of his narration comes straight from his thoughts. There are pages filled with R simply talking about what he does all day, and it's riveting stuff. My favorite descriptions come when he talks about groaning, mostly in the beginning of the novel.

R is also genuine and eager. Perhaps this is because he's dead, and things can't really get much worse? Whatever reason, it makes him endearing and utterly likeable, despite being a zombie. It's hard to believe I would ever feel anything but disgust for a zombie, but it happened with this book.

I also liked Julie. A lot. She's a kick-butt kind of girl, the kind we don't get to read about much in books where the protagonist is male. The girl can take care of herself. She's also got a sense of humor, something that many authors would be tempted to eliminate when writing a serious zombie novel.

UPDATE: Apparently he's writing a sequel now, so I suppose this doesn't apply anymore... I'm not going to complain! :) Can I also point out that I love that it's a standalone book? Don't get me wrong, I'm a major series lover. But I also just love books and authors that just don't need to leave you aggravated and desperate for a sequel that many times you don't particularly want. I like the way it ended; it was open in a way the reader can interpret for themselves, but in a slightly leading way.

Isaac Marion is taking a different approach to the zombie novel, one that could have been disastrous. Warm Bodies is anything but. It is well-written, poignant, funny, and memorable. Easily my favorite read this year.

Lessons learned from R (who happens to be a zombie)

1. Sometimes you are up, and sometimes you are down. That is until the power goes out and you are stuck.

2. Freaking out is not going to help, instead get married!

3. Sometimes a little brain goes a long way, unless of course you just ate the last of it, and then you are so screwed.

4. It is not our words but our actions that speak loudest regarding who we are.

I was quite skeptical, as well as intrigued, when I was sent "Warm Bodies" to review. I would never have imagined putting "zombie" and "romance" in the same sentence. I assumed the putrid decomposition of flesh and the eating of brains would have been a bit of a turn off.

The closest book to the show Walking Dead that I've read is The First Days, so if you're needing more of that gory, survivalist-type of zombie book, I'd check that one out.

This book, however, is fresh in my mind due to the author himself making some recent comments that he's not altogether thrilled about some book stores shelving his book as Young Adult instead of Adult fiction.

As a reader who reads both YA and adult, I was sort of put off by this. After all, don't bite the hand that feeds you, right? A big portion of readers who have gravitated toward this book are YA readers. I even found out about the book through YA friendly readers.

Does the book read like adult or YA? Well, I have it shelved as New Adult/College because the female is on the younger side (19), but the male lead is hinted at being older. I honestly think the book would work for readers of both YA and adult fiction. It's an easy read but there's nothing young feeling about the book, other than getting to dodge a bullet on some of the extraneous world building that can happen in adult books, which is a bonus in my opinion. What makes this book stand out is some of the dry humor and the amusing take on a zombie love story. This may not be a hardcore zombie book, but sometimes different is perfectly okay!

Original Non-review March 2012

Every so often, I decide to bypass writing a review, in favor of letting the book speak for itself. These quotes could probably sell you far better than my own words would.

I notice a female on the opposite conveyor. She doesn't lurch or groan like most of us; her head just lolls from side to side. I like that about her.

.....

Eating is not a pleasant business. I chew off a man's arm, and I hate it.
Of course if I don't eat all of him, if I spare his brain, he'll rise up and follow me back to the airport, and that might make me feel better. I'll introduce him to everyone, and maybe we'll stand around and groan for a while.

.....

We sit against the tiles of the bathroom wall with our legs sprawled out in front of us, passing the brain back and forth, taking small, leisurely bites and enjoying brief flashes of human experience.

'Good...shit,' M wheezes.

.....

He is gaping at a late-night soft-core movie. I don't know why he does this. Erotica is meaningless for us now. The blood doesn't pump, the passion doesn't surge. I've walked in on M with his 'girlfriends' before, and they're just standing there naked, staring at each other, sometimes rubbing their bodies together but looking tired and lost.

.....

"Why is it beautiful that humanity keeps coming back? Herpes does that too."

.....

I suck in air and attempt to sing. "You're...sensational..." I croak, struggling for a trace of Frank's melody.
There's a pause and then something shifts in Julie's demeanor. I realise she's laughing.
"Oh wow," she giggles. "That was beautiful, R, really. You and Zombie Sinatra should record Duets, Volume 2."
I cough. "Didn't get...warm-up."

When I first got my hands on Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion I was thrilled. The story seemed original with its zombie-plot, but my idea of this novel changed quite a bit after a while. I did enjoy the story and I probably will if I ever decide to pick it up again, but the story is not original at all. Instead it echoes Shakespeare.

Warm Bodies is a chatty little first person narrative, welcoming the reader into the dreamy emo head-thoughts of a zombie called R. In terms of monster stories, the zombie is your least psychological of the beasts, tending to stand in for more large target ideas like consumerism or colonialism.

Is it merely a collection of living flesh and tissue and bone, or is it also consciousness and memory and feeling? R, the young zombie who narrates this novel, isn't really sure. But after meeting Julie, a human girl he impulsively saves and hides away in an abandoned plane, he begins to experience thoughts and feelings that he'd forgotten he'd ever had.

Warm Bodies is a wistful love story that is creepy, sad, sweet, and disturbing in equal measure. The notion that it is possible to write a philosophical zombie novel seems quite unbelievable, but the author has accomplished this feat with astonishing ease. Being in R's head is a revelatory experience; he is matter-of-fact, pensive, humorous, and troubled at various different times. After his shockingly violent introduction to Julie, he also becomes animated and severely conflicted and full of yearning. A story like this obviously requires that readers suspend a fair amount of disbelief, but the focus here isn't on the technical aspects of survival anyway, but more on the idea that the desire for dignity and tenderness have just as much to do with humanity as does a collection of blood and muscles and cells.

The gentle sentiment in this story took me completely by surprise, especially as it contrasts so sharply with the visceral feedings that keep the zombies alive. The nourishment comes not only from the nutritional content that is necessary for survival, but also from the associated memories and emotions that each morsel of brain matter contains. This startlingly original idea creates an incredible amount of anguish and guilt and longing for R, and as he becomes more and more deeply attached to Julie, it's impossible to remain unmoved by his plight.

I keep saying I'm not a zombie person, but some of the best books I've read recently have featured them in prominent roles. After being blown away by Feed, Deadline, and The Reapers Are the Angels, I wasn't really sure whether there was still another great zombie story I'd be excited about, but Warm Bodies is a brilliant addition to the non-typical horror, intelligent zombie novel canon. I think that the reason these stories have struck such a chord with me is that they're attempting to explore ideas that are bigger than the issues that are actually on the page. Whether the books are delving into the right to information or the value of life or the struggle to keep the human spirit alive, the presence of the zombies is almost incidental. It's the fundamental questions these novels raise about the nature of humans and humanity that make them such great --and moving--works of literature.

Isaac Marion’s novel, Warm Bodies, is a romance. Yes, a zombie romance! Now before you all get grossed out on me, hear me out. In this author’s post-zombie apocalypse world, you first meet R. R isn’t your typical zombie that shuffles around mumbling “Braaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnnssss!” until he stumbles upon his next meal. You step right into R’s shoes. In this world, zombies are dead (of course), and they are really reduced to the basic human needs, like food, love, companionship. But these zombies think and wax poetic about the important things in life (or afterlife in zombies’ case), but it's all inside their head since they can only utter monosyllabic words. Zombies group together in hives, where they socialize, form hunting groups to bring back kills for those unable to hunt for themselves, adopt babies and even get married.

The main character, R is a zombie first and foremost. Although he isn’t as decayed as some of the others, he can’t remember much of his life. He can’t even remember his name, only that it started with an R. His hive is a dilapidated airport that has sporadic electricity. One of his favorite things to do is ride the moving walkways back and forth, thinking about the meaning of things that he can’t verbalize. He has made an airplane into his own little home, where he collects records and other memorabilia that he finds on hunting trips.

It is on one of these hunting trips from the airport into the nearest big city that R stumbles upon a small group of humans that are out on a scavenging trip at a pharmaceutical business. Once inside, they overtake the small group and R kills a teenage guy named Perry. In Marian’s zombie verse, the zombies actually get a glimpse of the human’s thoughts and memories when they eat the brain. Once R consumes a small part of Perry’s brain, he has vivid flashes of Perry’s memory, especially Perry’s girlfriend Julie. She happens to be on the salvaging trip along with a few others. Surprised by these new feelings that he has for this human, he brings Julie back to the airport to protect her.

But Julie isn’t the only thing that R brings back with him. He’s pocketed Perry’s brain and he slowly doles out portions to himself so he can savor the feelings and memories of Julie. As R spends more time with Julie, he slowly starts to gain some of his humanity back, starting with speech. Throughout the novel, you get to know Perry through each little piece of him that R consumes. You also learn that zombies can be pretty articulate inside their head, but they can’t verbalize it so much.

Some things are standard in tales of zombies, such as moaning, blood and guts, mindless hunger. But Isaac Marion doesn’t dwell on these items; he lets you see just how complex a zombie really can be. Throughout R’s growing relationship with Julie, the author explores how humanizing love can be, even when you’re surrounded by constant death and decay. And no matter how trapped inside yourself you are, there’s always a way to come back into the world of the living.

“I am dead, but it’s not so bad.”

So starts the story of R, a zombie who still has a heart, a mind, and even a shred of a soul. Though he eats brains and flesh like his fellow undeads, he would much rather spend his time riding escalators, listening to Frank Sinatra, and taking care of his two adopted zombie children. He’s actually a pretty cool guy, if you ignore the fact that he’s a corpse.

You see, WARM BODIES is a zombie romance, literally. Instead of the expected survivors falling for each other given the end of days shtick, we have an actual zombie love story. The concept had me questioning would I buy it? Or better yet, would Julie? Even if the background was not as clearly explained as I want it to be, MAN, would I like to pick the brain of the person behind this story!

His zombie world reminded me of Tom Imura in R&R. Tom 'quiets' the undead for those left behind. Marion kicks the concept of suffering creatures up a couple of notches. Here zombies, dead though they may be, retain a semblance of their past lives. I repeat: a semblance. Take any normal human thing and reduce it to its most basic. Zombies love, zombies crave and hunger… and as R establishes, zombies think.. (a lot.)

But that isn’t even the most interesting bit! Let me back up, the zombies offered up in this one can be summed up thus, You are what you eat. Well, sort of. When they consume, they see catch flickers of their victims’ memories and experiences. With that concept in place, we meet R the MC-zombie who surprisingly waxes on and on about his/their existence, being. Driven by some inexplicable anger, he leads his fellow undead on a hunt where he meets then eats Perry. The surprise is Perry’s memories are sharper and clearer to R than anything he had previously, uh… consumed. It is Perry’s memories, that compel him to protect Julie, the deceased’s girlfriend. It gets weirder, I promise.

The confusing in a cool way parts involved R re-living/ remembering Perry. So all at once, we see one of them spiral into apathy, and the other (R) regain bits and pieces of his humanity. This was probably the most interesting thing for me. My problem was R’s waxing poetic/philosophical about the situation, purple prose. But seeing Perry lose hope through R’s eyes was a rather unique experience. I could definitely feel R’s confusion about what he saw, but Perry’s dissatisfaction/apathy came across loud and clear too.

So here are three things I’m paraphrasing form WARM BODIES to describe it and how it made me feel: I felt confused. I felt afraid. YET I anticipated; I wanted to know what was in store for them.

The Gist:

The biggest CON, apparently the musings of a zombie tend toward purple. Fortunately, I encountered PRO’s a-plenty to have me continue.

3.5/5

It's no secret that I am a massive fan of zombie books. I love them. Seriously. And then to find out that there's a book in the point of view of one?? Hell, yes. Where is this book and why don't I have it now? And then I got it. And then I read it. And then oh. My. God. This book is amazing. Isaac Marion truly astounded me in the direction he took this book.

R doesn't remember anything of his past life. As a zombie, all his memories have long since faded away and even his name is non-existent; all he can remember is that it may have started with an 'R'. His days are spent killing people for food, and in between that not really doing much of anything. Unlike the other zombies, however, he doesn't enjoy killing people. He prefers instead to listen to the likes of Frank Sinatra, and ride the escalators when the electricity comes on in the airport a lot of them are living in. But when a group of them go out in search of food one day, he sees her. Julie. For some reason she stands out to him, and he's reluctant to harm her. Eating the brain of the guy she loved, R experiences some unusually vivid memories and his feelings for Julie gradually intensify.

Normally when I write a review, I have the book here with me. Unfortunately it had to go back to the library, otherwise I would have shared a couple of quotes with you that showed the kind of dry humour Warm Bodies is full of. I loved the opening especially for this aspect, the way zombie life was depicted. It was amusing to see how casually R described things like the way the zombies stood around and groaned a lot, and what they ate and how. The way in which Marion has intertwined humour with the more gruesome is wonderfully expert. The idea of R occasionally eating a piece of Perry's - the guy Julie used to be with - cerebrum is somewhat disturbing actually thinking about, but in the book it doesn't necessarily come across this way. The zombie world created here is completely different to anything else you might find in this genre. You have Boneys, zombies who are purely skeleton and particularly sinister, and fleshies. I think the name speaks for itself. And the ending of the book is one you absolutely would never have guessed.

Reading from R's perspective was incredible. It was funny, it was serious, it was complex. It's weird to say, but as a zombie he was very likeable. He was still trying to hold onto some semblance of humanity. His mind doesn't work as one might think it does, and viewing Perry's memories and thoughts through him was an exceptionally interesting experience. The romance between R and Julie is also very endearing. Just the thought of a human and a zombie in a relationship seems fairly absurd, not to mention perhaps a little cringe-worthy, but actually it really works here. I loved seeing Julie come to accept him and open up to him more and more. As a character, she herself was also very likeable. Julie's tough and independent, and you can't help but feel for the way she's lost the people closest to her - and I don't mean physically. Yes, Perry died, but even beyond that, both her dad and Perry changed a lot because of their experiences, leaving Julie trying to fight on her own.

Warm Bodies is more complex than I can really explain to you, and there's a significant amount I can't reveal because of spoilers. But Isaac Marion has come up with a truly unique world and storyline. I think in a way the ending could have been wrapped up to make it a stand-alone, but nevertheless I'm looking forward to the sequel. I loved seeing all the elements of zombie life that R described, from marriage and family life - that part kind of bewildered me in terms of his actual experience - to eating and just generally passing the time. After reading this and watching the trailer, which I found hilarious, I desperately want to go and see the movie at some point, which hopefully I will. If you haven't read this yet, you need to grab yourself a copy ASAP.

The book is an engaging read but some of the things that were written was too strange to accept even in a zombie book. For starters no one knows how the world as it is came about or how the world as we know it came to an end. Has anyone ever heard of a philosopher Zombie? Because that is what R is even from the beginning of this book. Even before he met Julie he was pondering over life changing questions. He gets married to another Zombie who he meets while riding a conveyor belt which according to me was the most memorable part of this book, and has two Zombie children to take care of the next day. Of course R doesn't want such responsibility. Then we are introduced to Julie the living girl who R meets while munching on her ex boy friends brain....Surprise Surprise seeing Julie does something to R especially since he is being flooded with memories of her after eating her boy friends brain and he begins to transform. He wants to protect Julie and keep her safe. Julie in turn is intrigued by R, since she was taught from the very beginning that Zombie's are walking corpses with no feelings. But I have to say she is an unbelievable of character. Because who in their right mind would give driving lessons to a Zombie while she is surrounded by more Zombies that want to eat her. That with many more bizarre moments and imaginary conversations were a bit difficult to comprehend. May be it is prejudice talking but I did not enjoy this book much and there were even times that I wished to skip pages. Still this book was a different experience and I am surprising myself when I admit that if this book has a sequel I will be reading it. (less)

First, I saw the trailer of the movie, then I decided to read the book. At the beginning, I was more than just suspicious, trust me. Indeed, I am a fan of paranormal things, but Zombies... I was never interested in zombies, for me, they were more than just disgusting.
Until this book.

I doubt it, that I will ever read a real zombie-book with the rotting creatures without a brain. But this book is something completely different.

- the dark/morbid humour
- R's thoughts, I mean, I could i...more

Rating: 4 of 5

I've watched numerous movies that twist the traditional zombie mythology (for instance, FIDO), a few of which even involved love stories (My Boyfriend's Back and Boy Eats Girl are fun examples). But, if memory serves, this was my first experience with the literary equivalent.

Warm Bodies was way better than I expected, yay! The underlying question of what makes one a member of the Living versus the Dead was prevalent; I never get bored exploring potential answers to that question....more

My theme word for this one is 'potential'. I knew the premise, I watched the trailer, I saw the glowing praise from Stephenie Meyer of all people emblazoned on the back cover. Basically, I knew what I was getting myself into.
True to expectations, it wasn't the most masterfully written thing under the sun. I've never read 'On the Road', but it was obvious that the author had. Waxing on in attempts at profound imagery that both occurred too frequently and too often dumbed themselves down with the word 'like'. Mr. Marion, I would advise you to make friends with metaphor before simile cripples all your pretty meanderings.
As for the characters, forgiveness and trust seemed to come a little too easily to people whose lives had been completely ripped apart by a terrifying menace. Perhaps they really were approaching zen master level in terms of valuing the bigger picture over the smaller things, but that's not something you can just throw out there and not expect people to question. Especially when you're talking about teenagers dealing with zombies. In this particular scenario, I'd say that hormones didn't make people THAT stupid, but then again. You really never know with those sorts of things.
This book did have its savings points though. You have no idea how nice it was to realize that the author wasn't going to throw out yet another 'reasonable' cause of the zombie plague. It's hard to take the arguments over the scientific accuracy of different methods of raising the dead seriously. A method isn't valid if it only abuses some of the branches of scientific thought instead of all of them. Please.
So I was happy when this book bypassed all that and settled itself for some old fashioned hand wavey magic. I mean, it's zombies. Reanimating themselves through love. Give it a rest.
And last but not least, it may be a love story, it may be young adult, but there were some awfully nasty scenes and quite a lot of foul language. Also mentions of suicidal depression and questioning of the real line between the living dead and desensitized living. If I have to give credit to the author for one thing, it's the realistically hellish scenes and thought patterns that he delved into every so often. Now, if he could just do that more often, and tighten his prose and characterization a bit, there may be hope for him in the literary world yet.(less)

Por entre os destroços de uma antiga cidade, vagueia um grupo de zombies que pretende alimentar-se dos poucos humanos vivos que por ali ainda vivem. Esta é uma cidade fantasma, completamente destruída, cinzenta e sem vida, tal como os zombies que se vão arrastando a gemer, desesperados por comida. No meio desse grupo, no entanto, encontra-se um zombie diferente de todos os outros e muito especial dentro da sua espécie. Estes seres não retiveram qualquer lembrança da sua vida anterior, nem o seu nome e não conseguem falar, a não ser proferir umas sílabas muito arrastadas, sem qualquer sentido. R (a única letra que se lembra do seu nome), um rapaz zombie, é diferente, pois na sua mente, os pensamentos não podiam ser mais claros nem fluentes. Além disso, consegue falar melhor do que todos os outros zombies. Mas o que torna R um zombie completamente diferente de todos os outros dentro da sua espécie é o facto de ele questionar não só a sua existência, mas também a dos vivos. O que reservará o futuro tanto para os mortos como para os vivos? R tem uma mente cheia de sonhos e questões para serem respondidas e mal sabe que a sua própria existência está prestes a mudar, quando ele e um pequeno grupo de zombies se dirige à cidade para se alimentarem. Para os zombies, o mais importante na alimentação, são os cérebros dos vivos. Isto porque além de serem a parte mais saborosa, é a parte mais importante da nossa anatomia. Não só retém recordações, mas também sentimentos, como o amor. Quando R acaba de se alimentar do cérebro de um jovem chamado Perry, começa a experienciar as recordações do mesmo. Mas dentro destas recordações, está uma jovem por quem Perry está apaixonado. Ela chama-se Julie e R, decide salvá-la e instalá-la dentro da sociedade dos zombies. Esta integração trará muitas mudanças a este mundo...

Os zombies, são desde sempre uma temática de horror muito apreciada pelo mundo fora. De facto, estes seres que se encontram apenas meio-vivos são uma inspiração constante para o mundo artístico, seja dos livros, seja dos filmes, seja das séries. Mas como em tudo na vida, existem ciclos e fases. Neste caso, o mundo da literatura também se baseia muito em modas e ondas. Se há uns anos atrás, os zombies estavam na berra e só se viam filmes por aí com esta temática, depressa deixámos de ver esse fenómeno espalhado por todo o lado. Mas agora, os zombies voltaram à carga. Não só nas séries, mas também nos livros. E é assim que o jovem autor Isaac Marion nos apresenta este Sangue Quente, uma aposta da editora Contraponto que promete deixar-nos a reflectir sobre a condição humana. E não só.

Tenho que confessar que apesar de gostar de experimentar todos os tipos de literatura e ter uma mente aberta, os zombies são uma temática que não me fascinam sobremaneira. No entanto, após ter lido a sinopse desta obra, achei que valia a pena arriscar. E tenho que admitir, que apesar do livro não se ter revelado uma leitura fantástica e inesquecível, também acabou por me surpreender.
Para começar, tenho que dar os parabéns ao autor pela ideia tão original que teve. Hoje em dia, parece que é muito difícil arranjar algum novo conceito que ainda não tenha sido trabalhado. O mundo criativo não é tão fácil quanto parece e por isso mesmo é muito gratificante ler uma coisa nova, com originalidade. Esta leitura é no geral, muito criativa e original e isso é um grande ponto positivo, logo à partida. O segundo ponto positivo, é a maneira como o autor nos apresenta esta história. Gostei bastante da sua escrita e ainda mais, por o autor ter escolhido relatar esta história através dos olhos de R. Não só porque podemos conhecer esta personagem como mais ninguém conhece - dá a sensação que estamos dentro da sua cabeça e pensamentos - mas também porque permite que o personagem principal de aproxime mais do leitor e que crie assim um relato mais intimista. Acho importante que o autor se dê ao trabalho de aproximar o seu protagonista do público.

Contudo, após estes pontos positivos tenho que confessar, que mesmo não sabendo de que forma é que o autor ia explorar o seu enredo, esperava outra coisa. Conforme fui avançando na leitura, dei por mim a pensar que a história ficaria melhor se o autor tivesse escolhido um sub-enredo para manter cativa a atenção dos seus leitores. Acabei por achar os acontecimentos um pouco estáticos e apesar de existir uma evolução racional dentro da história, não foi nada que me arrebatasse, nem que me entusiasmasse. Entre os pensamentos de R, das memórias de Perry e da relação que se estabelece entre Julie e R, pouco mais há para explorar neste mundo dos zombies. Sei que o livro é muito pouco extenso e por isso não se pode pedir muita exploração, mas acabei o livro com uma sensação agridoce, mais para o agri do que para o doce, se é que me entendem.
O saldo final é positivo, embora ache que o autor poderia ter explorado melhor este mundo. Mas com certeza o autor estará a pensar explorar mais este mundo na continuação, porque o final é claramente aberto e traz mil e uma possibilidades.

Dito isto, acabei por encontrar um livro diferente, fora da minha área de conforto e apesar de não ter ficado sem palavras, acho que também não me dei nada mal. O autor tem muitos pontos positivos e muitas vantagens neste mundo da escrita, especialmente no que toca à maneira como conseguiu fazer-me reflectir sobre a condição humana e sobre o ciclo natural das coisas.

O meu conselho final: Read outside the box! (less)

What a truly engrossing and original novel. This will be my first of many zombie novels I have read where the story was told from the zombie, or ‘R’s’ point of view. This introduces the concept that zombies are more than the black drooling, grunting and groaning un-dead that they’ve been portrayed as in typical zombie novels. “It disquieted me at first, but it’s against etiquette to notice when one of us dies. I distracted myself with some groaning.” Zombie etiquette? Already I’m intrig...more

"Ölüyüm, ama bu çok kötü değil.

Alışmayı öğrendim. Kendimi doğru düzgün tanımadığım için üzgünüm, ama artık ismim yok. Benimkinin baş harfi “R” idi, ama artık sadece bunu hatırlıyorum. Komik, çünkü sağlığımda hep başka insanların isimlerini unuturdum. Arkadaşım “M”nin dediğine göre zombi olmanın ironik tarafı şu ki, her şey komik geliyor ama dudakların çürüyüp döküldüğü için gülümseyemiyorsun…"

Aslında Sıcak Bedenler'i almayı aklımın ucundan bile geçirmemiştim. Sonra Maggie Stiefvater'ın yorumunu gördüm. Favori yazarlarımdan birinin böyle pozitif bir yorum yapması beni önemli derecede etkiledi ve birden kendimi elimde kitapla buldum. Ve iyiki de okumuşum diyorum. Zombilerin o bilindik "insan eti yiyen çürümüş yaratık" imajını mükemmel bir şekilde yıktı ve yazarın sevgiyi kıyamet sonrası aslında ürkütücü olabilecek bir hikayeye yerleştiriş biçimi beni kendine hayran bıraktı. Sevecen vampirlerden sonra dünyanın en tatlı zombisi R'yle de bir tanışın isterseniz.

Isaac Marion'un Sıcak Bedenler'i Zombi R'nin bakış açısıyla anlatılıyor. Diğer zombilerle birlikte bir havaalanında yaşıyor R. Ve üstelik evi bir jet uçağı. Ne ismini ne de geçmişini hatırlıyor ve yaşamının oldukça boş olduğunu düşünüyor. Sürekli bunu sorgulamaktan da kendini alamıyor ama bu 'hastalık'tan bir kurtuluş yolu olduğuna inanmıyor. Amaçsızca ortalıkta gezinmeye ve acıktığında insan eti yemeye devam ediyor. İnsan eti konusunda yazarın detaylı anlatımı çoğu kişiyi rahatsız edebilir. Ama ben bunu yapış tarzına değil de arkasındaki neden ve duygulara odaklandığım için tiksinmedim. Mesela zombiler en çok beyin yemeyi seviyorlar çünkü böylece beynini yediklerini insanın geçmişine dair şeyleri kendilerininmiş gibi hissediyorlar. Zombi R de bundan bir nevi keyif alıyor. Yaşadığını ancak bu şekilde hissedebildiğini düşünüyor.

Yine bir av sırasında Perry Kelvin adında genç bir adamı öldüren ve onun hayatını ve duygularını içinde hisseden R'yi sarsan bir şey oluyor. Genç adamın kızarkadaşı Julie'ye dair anıları onu beklenmedik bir şekilde etkiliyor ve ani bir kararla az önce onu öldürmeye kalkan kızı oradan, ölmekten kurtarmaya karar veriyor. Julie'yi havaalanına götürüyor. R'nin bu kurtarma eylemi ve insancıl tavırları Julie'yi şaşırtıyor tabii ki. Birkaç gün boyunca kızı evinde saklayan R, bir yandan da beyninin bir parçasını cebinde sakladığı Perry'nin anılarına gidip geliyor. Böylece Perry, Julie ve diğer Sağlar hakkında bilgi sahibi oluyor. İlk defa bir şeyler hissetmeye başladığını fark eden zombimiz yavaş yavaş Julie'ye aşık oluyor. Ve üstelik konuşmasının daha düzgün olması ve hissettiği duygular bu kızla birlikte bir şeylerin değiştiğini anlamasını sağlıyor. Julie'nin diğer Sağların bulunduğu Stadyum'a geri dönmesiyle R kendini yeniden bomboş hissediyor, zombi arkadaşı M'nin de kendisi gibi değiştiğini ona göstermesiyle R, Julie'ye yeniden ulaşmaya karar veriyor.

Şiirsel bir anlatım, içinde barındırdığı harika şarkı sözleri ve tuhaf ama insanı etkileyen inandırıcı duygularıyla Sıcak Bedenler okunmayı hak ediyor. Zombileri yeniden canlandıran şeyin ne olduğunu ya da Sağların tükenmiş dünyada nasıl yeni bir hayat kurmaya çalıştıklarını kendiniz keşfedin. Bir yandan Perry'nin hissettikleriyle Sağların dünyası, diğer yandan da R'nin bakış açısıyla zombilerin dünyası bu kıyamet sonrası senaryosunda her şeyi derinden hissetmenize yardımcı oluyor. Zombileri sevmiyorum ya da tiksindirici buluyorum diyorsanız bir de Zombi R'yle tanışın. Şimdiye kadar karşılaştığım en iyi zombi hikayesi. Bu kitabı ilk başta internette yayınlamış yetenekli yazar Isaac Marion'a ve keşfedip yayınlanmasını sağlayanlara teşekkürler. Ve sizlere de keyifli okumalar.

¿Cómo os imagináis un zombie? Antes de leer este libro, olvidad todo lo que creéis saber. Los zombies en R y Julie son personas como cualquier otra: se relacionan, se alimentan, se casan, viven en comunidad... Y sí, se pueden comunicar, aunque sólo a base de sonidos guturales y preguntas simples. ¿Entonces, qué las diferencia de las humanas? Vaya pregunta, pues que no están del todo vivos: su corazón no bombea... y con el tiempo se descomponen.

Nada más abrir el libro, vemos que es algo peculiar. Cuando alguien se arriesga a ser innovador, es posible que a la gente no le guste la rareza o le encuentre carencias (y eso es lo que me ha pasado).
Está narrado en primera persona por R, el zombie protagonista. Es algo paradójica la complejidad del hilo de sus pensamientos frente a lo poco que puede expresarse, en mi opinión. Por eso la narración, a mí me ha dejado bastante que desear. Además, a veces me pareció difícil de entender en ciertos puntos, donde se cambiaba de tema de repente de un párrafo a otro y no sabía dónde estaba ni con quién.
El tema de la vida zombie es también algo... peculiar (por no decir absurdo). No le veo sentido alguno a los ritos de casamiento, ni los hijos, ni la escuela, ni a los amigos... ¡Estás casi muerto; come cerebros y calla!
Auun así, no todo es malo. El hecho de que los zombies escuchen los pensamientos de los propietarios de los cerebros al comérselos... Eso me fascinó, hay que admitirlo. Punto para ti, Isaac Marion.

Y pese a la originalidad de ese punto de vista peculiar, la novela es bastante "parecida" a muchas novelas de moda y está dirigida a un público específico. La obra en sí no es muy empalagosa, pero que un zombie buenorro se enamore... Me suena a volver a destrozar una criatura asombrosa mediante grandes dosis de escenas edulcoradas para satisfacer a un público "muy juvenil" con personajes agradables a la vista. Una vez enterada de que iban a hacer una película basada en el libro, confirmé mi teoría. ¡Fenómeno fan a la vistaaa!

Y Y es que pasar páginas y páginas de amor sin-sentido, leyendo sobre personajes que cambian de repente sin evolución visible para llegar a un gran final predecible e inverosímil (pasando por un desenlace surrealista y poco trabajado), ha hecho que este libro se me haya hecho pesado y decepcionante. Además, el pesimismo y tristeza que emana (acompañado de un mensaje típico que nos viene con aires de revolucionario) ha acabado de rematarlo todo (nunca mejor dicho, vaya). (less)
