'Warm Bodies' is a book written by Isaac Marion, about a teenage zombie who finds himself breaking the emotionless mould in which he is meant to fit and falling in love with a living girl. The zombie, R, is different to the others. He tries desperately to fight against the disease that is slowly turning him into the horrible, skeletal creature that he hates. After eating the brains of a young girls boyfriend, he begins to see his memories of her through his own lifeless eyes. He decides to save her life, and in doing so, saves his own. 
The film is incredibly appealing to young adults, with the perfect balance of comedy and romance. There are plenty of funny scenes, centered around the incapability of R and his struggle to impress Julie, matched with some equally touching scenes. Overall, 'Warm Bodies' is not an exceptionally gripping film, but it is a great light watch and a brilliant young adult film. I would highly suggest reading the book, as with most film adaptations, it does skip from scene to scene and glazes over some more minor details; ones that you would miss if you had first read the book but if you are new to the experience then the film still captures the essence of the author spectacularly.
