WIAR: Warm bodies (sp to pg 127)

I have to discuss now, lol. I feel so dumb for not getting the Romeo and Juliet reference until halfway through this book. Even after seeing the freaking movie. R and Julie? And her dad hates his family/kind and Nora wants to be a dang nurse and His friend is M and the balcony scene...Sorry for the rambling, haha. I'm sure there's more I just have to think about it more. Mind blown and now I feel like I need to go back and read everything again.

I loved making all of the connections! I knew going in that it was a retelling of Romeo and Juliet though, so I was looking for them early on. Do you like it? I was very pleasantly surprised with this book.

I'm really enjoying it. I requested it after seeing the movie since I thought it was cute and funny. So I kind of know what happens, but there's so much more to the book and the writing is just gorgeous. I'm actually swooning over the words, which is not something I do often.

The writing is wonderful! This is the only zombie book I have read, but I thought Isaac Marion did a great job with them. And I totally swooned, but that isn't out of the ordinary for me

I liked the movie too. Of course I thought the book was better, but I really enjoyed both.

Ok, I feel really dumb now. I just recently read this and didn't make that connection! $:\$ ">

I LOVED this book. Like, loooved it. And I didn't think I would. I'm sort of in love with Isaac now too.

I loved the Romeo and Juliet connection. Brilliant.

Keep going, I'm curious to hear what you think. And if you can you should definitely get the prequel (The New Hunger) from Zola books. It's amazing too and reveals some stuff about a number of things in Warm Bodies.

I didn't make the connection either. It's been a long time since I read R&J and I listened to the audiobook so it was a bit more of a choppy read for me.
