Owls Be Reading discussion

Come ghouls, goblins, and ghosts...and let the fright fest begin! Happy October Members! This month, we've selected Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion. I hope you join me in this month's group read!

Oh I read this after watching the movie but I can't remember all the details... I'll re-read it if I have time ;)

I am game!!!

Hi Laura! I so want to watch this movie, but first...the book. :) How did the movie compare to the book?

Hi Avishek! Yay!!! Would love for you to join us. :)

I just started and -- wow. This is actually really poetic for a zombie book.

Hi Ashley, I'm pleasantly surprise too! The prose is sooth like silk!

It really is, and it's astounding to me. Not sure if that's because it's written by a male author and I'm more accustomed to the pretty prose coming from women writers, or that I just wasn't expecting that kind of depth from a zombie book. Probably both :)

Finishing up today. This book really flew!

It's pretty deep for a zombie book yes. I was surprised I liked it ^^ (as well as the movie to be honest because movies tend to be much worse but I was surprised...)

@ Asley ~ Congratulations on finishing the book! You rock!! I've always loved a male perspective on romance and other genres that women seem to be more prolific at. Has this book changed your mind on zombies, too? :)

@Laura ~ I'd like to check out the movie too! I hadn't planned on it because movies just do not do books justice, but now that I know you enjoyed it, I'll have to give it a chance. Thanks! Is there another adaptation that you would also recommend?

LOL thanks Lonna. I agree about the male perspective, it was really well handled overall. I don't know if it's changed my mind about zombie books though -- most of the ones my friends have read, they haven't liked, so I think I will remain picky for the time being ;)

I had no idea what this book was about when I started reading. Boy was I surprised! And more surprising was that i liked it!

Hi HeatherRose! Hahaha, yes, that seems to be the sentiment with a lot of members for this month's book selection. Glad you enjoyed it. =)
