Warm Bodies

Warm Bodies places a lot of emphasis on the thin line separating humans from zombies. During death, R is still more human-like than live beings, thinking about words and colors and meanings and names. He falls in love, experiences emotions, and staves off his desire for consuming human brains. Some human boys, like Perry, have actually become more zombie-like by the plague, and have wanted to die. Perry begins to become more militant, wishing for an end, and losing his sense of wonder, faith in humanity, and passion for writing. In a way, Perry has become more dead than the zombie, R.
