fullDescription

Library Journal's Must-Have Spring Books, Editors' Picks 2017

"A thrilling coast-to-coast journey." —The Seattle Times

"A richly imagined philosophical exploration." —Bellingham Herald

"Exciting action, intriguing characters, epic scale." —Booklist (starred review)

"Poignant and poetic...brings zombie lit back from the dead." —The Stranger

The New York Times bestseller Warm Bodies captured hearts worldwide in twenty-five languages, inspiring a major film and a cult fandom. Now R the reluctant zombie continues his journey in this much-anticipated sequel.
Being alive is hard. Being human is harder. But since his recent recovery from death, R is making progress. He's learning how to read, how to speak, maybe even how to love, and the city's undead population is showing signs of life. R can almost imagine a future with Julie, this girl who restarted his heart—building a new world from the ashes of the old one.

And then helicopters appear on the horizon. Someone is coming to restore order. To silence all this noise. To return things to the way they were, the good old days of stability and control and the strong eating the weak. The plague is ancient and ambitious, and the Dead were never its only weapon.

How do you fight an enemy that's in everyone? Can the world ever really change? With their home overrun by madmen, R, Julie, and their ragged group of refugees plunge into the otherworldly wastelands of America in search of answers. But there are some answers R doesn't want to find. A past life, an old shadow, crawling up from the basement.

     Marion’s third Warm Bodies zombie novel (after 2013’s series prequel, The New Hunger) continues the story of a postapocalyptic world where some of the walking dead have achieved a sentient state—a conceit that some readers will have trouble buying into. The protagonist, known simply as R, is one of those evolved zombies; 67 days before the book begins, he found an “exit” from an unremembered number of years spent as a mindless flesh eater. During those two months, R’s mind has somehow reached the point where he can narrate his biography with luminous prose: “In simpler times, life was a one-act play, and when it was over we took our bows and caught our roses and enjoyed any applause we earned; then the spotlight faded and we shuffled backstage to nibble crackers in the greenroom of eternity.” The unconvincing central premise is coupled with a conventional story line, in which R and his allies are confronted by a threat from a militant group of human survivors, and underdeveloped characters, including R’s human love interest.

     December 1, 2016
     A reanimated zombie must fill in the pieces of his missing past in this doorstopper sequel to Warm Bodies (2011).To recap, Marion (The New Hunger, 2015, etc.) penned a clever zom-rom-com in his previous books, set during a zombie apocalypse and starring a hunky young zombie named R. Weirdly, our boy starts to regain his humanity when he falls for Julie, a still-living survivor (after making a snack of her boyfriend, Perry Kelvin, as one does). This first of multiple planned sequels picks up immediately afterward and quickly goes off the rails. In the beginning, R is still the blank slate from the first book. "Whatever past lives return to me and whatever other names they bring, this is the one that matters," he says. "My first life fled without a fight and left nothing behind, so I doubt it was a loss worth mourning." The living are settled into an unsteady truce with the dead, their new animations explained by a gimmicky plot device called "the Gleam." "Every once in a while it just...happens, and the Dead get a little less dead." Their settlement quickly comes under siege from a corporate militant group called Axiom, while other rumors spread of a religious group called the Fire Church. R, Julie, R's buddy Marcus, and the rest of their crew escape with the help of--surprise! --Abram Kelvin, the older brother of the boyfriend whose brains R wolfed down. From there, it's a cross-country journey to a scorched Helena, Montana; on to Detroit, where Julie frees her chained-up, zombified mother; assaulting an Axiom facility in Pittsburgh; and finally, on to New York City to face not the big bad Axiom but the inevitable cliffhanger. We do get the full back story on R's background, although fans of the character may be disappointed by some pretty manipulative twists. Still, Marion has ambitiously expanded on his original tale, offering a dramatic amount of mythology and worldbuilding to flesh out his murky world. An ambitious if somewhat meandering addition to one of the more successful zombie franchises.

     Starred review from December 1, 2016
     Marion's Warm Bodies (2011) was a refreshingly unique zombie novel. It told the love story of R, a recovering zombie, and Julie, a human girl. The book's popularity led to a movie and a clamoring for a sequel, but it was clear that in order to continue R and Julie's story, Marion would have to deepen the world building and charactersso, instead, he wrote a prequel, The New Hunger (2013). Now, Marion has finally returned with that much-desired sequel. R and Julie are still helping recovering zombies rejoin the slowly healing world, but a new threat flies ina corporate entity known as Axiom, with henchmen, secrecy, and violent domination on their minds. R, Julie, and their friends, including an Axiom employee, end up on the run. What follows is a cross-country journey to discover the truth about just how much of humanity is left out there, but along the way, our heroes also begin to understand more about themselves, their pasts, and how they each fit into the story of the end of the world. With exciting action sequences, intriguing characters, and a much more epic scale to the story, this will leave readers satisfied but eagerly anticipating book four. Suggest to fans of Justin Cronin's Passage trilogy or Mira Grant's Newsflesh series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)

     In the postapocalyptic world established in Warm Bodies, some of the undead are returning to life, like R. But while a few are only "Nearlies"--zombies who are continuing their journeys, R is truly alive. Slowly regaining human memories and skills, R continues to pursue the relationship that grows between him and new love interest Julie. Then the helicopters arrive: the Axiom Group has risen from the ashes to restore order. R, Julie, her best friend Nora, and a few others are on the run, traveling the country looking for answers to this new crisis. But R's recollections may hold clues, and the past may resurface to bite him harder than any zombie could. VERDICT This sequel to Warm Bodies (The New Hunger was a prequel) continues R's quest to personhood and relearning how to function in a world forever changed. [See Prepub Alert, 8/22/16.]--KC

     A Romeo and Juliet-like story of an undead boy and a living girl, 2011's Warm Bodies was a No. 5 New York Times best seller, a Discover Great New Writers pick, and the basis for a movie. Julie and a revived R are back, but so are the baddies who tried to dominate the world with the undead as their shock troops. Third in the series; 2015's The New Hunger was a prequel.
