R is a zombie but he's not a mindless hulk. He can talk a little and still think. He thinks a lot, actually. About being alone. About why he can't remember his name or his life before dying. About why the world is so horrible. (Emo much?) At least that's what he thinks about until he eats Perry's brain. Now all he can think about is Perry's girlfriend Julie and keeping her safe. Then the weird stuff keeps happening: he starts walking better; he can speak more and more; he even stops eating people. Somewhere between listening to Frank Sinatra LPs and learning to drive a Mercedes convertible, their relationship becomes something more. Something a whole lot more, something that could possible transform the world they live in.
So here's the thing: there's a movie version coming out in February 2013. Somehow, despite the fact I've known about this movie for MONTHS and thus planned on reviewing the book, it seems the movie was only just discovered by the world when I was finally ready with my review. This means you'll have to reserve a copy and wait patiently for it to come in. In the meantime, how about checking out some walking dead romance books?
- "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley (if you're more interested in the whole horrible undead angst thing)
- "Dearly, Departed" by Lia Habel (if you're more interested in the whole romance thing)
- "I love him to pieces : or my date is dead weight or he only loves me for my brains" by Evonne Tsang (if you're more interested in the funnies)
