Most of you keep asking what my status message is about. Here we go. I randomly found the trailer for the movie Warm Bodies on youtube and I started getting thrilled about it, I can't wait to watch it in january. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3ErWNBX9Rc
Then I read that it was based on a novel by Isaac Marion and I looked for it and finished it in a few hours. I really loved it and lately I don't seem to find books that are both entertaining and introspective so I am really impressed. From what I saw in the trailer I was expecting some kind of teen horror commedy, which isn't bad itself but I was totally wrong.Maybe the movie will be like that but the book is dark and existensial, it has its own soul pulsating and filled with pain and hope. It reminded me of Salinger and Joyce. The story is very original and beyond the surface of the contingence of a post apocalyptic world where zombies and humans fight each other I think the main theme is the solitude everyone experiences and the research for a truth, for something that matters and that can answer the primordial and inner questions we all have: who am I? why am I here? what's the meaning of life? and I think the answer is love. this book is a hymn to love and its power of changing people. I also liked the latin references :) I can't wait to read the sequel. I definitely recommend it!
