Being in the point of view of R adds to that.

Usually, this type of setting is quite cliche?, with the main character being the hero who defeats the zombies, but the main character being a zombie and quite literally being the hero was definitely against my expectations. The story itself takes place in a dystopian future setting, where the dead rise again as zombies of the brain is not removed. Along with their struggle through the plague, their feelings develop as well, giving the readers a wrong impression of a typical romance plot. Feeling the urge to protect her, R takes her back to him home and, although wary at first, she eventually opens up to think of him as something else, not completely a zombie. During his “hunt” for humans, he come across a boy named Perry and his band of hunters, and saves a girl named Julie after consuming the brain of Perry and acquiring the memory of her. The introduction basically consists of him explaining the basics of a configuration of zombies and the life of zombies in the abandoned airport. R, a zombie more intelligent than the others, describes his tale of saving a living person, and the events following his actions. However, the plot runs much deeper than a simple love story. Warm Bodies is categorized as ‘zombie romance,' or horror, or just plain romance with the zombie element as an addition by various sources. Nevertheless, in general, I believe the book itself is worth reading because of its message, albeit not transparent. However, even after finishing the book in November, and having reread several parts of it, I still haven’t been able to determine what the exact purpose is. I personally believe that this book is very enigmatic about its purpose or message, because usually a specific moral or a message can be located pretty easily by the time one finishes a book. The novel Warm Bodies is a very intriguing story that I recommend to both teenagers and adults because of its unique message of living and death, and what is important of living.
