Warm Bodies (The Warm Bodies Series), Paperback/Isaac Marion

A version of Romeo & Juliet with zombies, this is a starry-eyed, sweetly comic story about the humanising power of love, even in the darkest of circumstances. R is a zombie, but when he meets Julie a switch is flicked and he wants to save her rather than eat her. A film adaptation is already planned for 2012, targeting the Twilight market.
