and this time, I was just moved by a subtle warmth. Although this book is full of zombie love that has been written to rot, as well as unreasonable plot settings, and even the psychological fantasy of the heroine who is too young to be mentally retarded... But excluding these, I am still impressed by the hero ( People?) Straightforward and simple, attractive with childlike persistence. It is a pure desire to protect girls, a desire for communication, or a yearning for beauty. In contrast, the human beings in the book appear small and pitiful - not because they are outnumbered and at risk of extinction, but live without hope and human dignity, forgetting the happiness that once existed, sacrificing the caring people. Beautiful, just to live to live, and at the same time yearn for a peaceful death deep inside.
Compared with the movie, the description in the book is better and more delicate and moving. For the first time, zombies have also departed from their extreme positioning, that is, they are not affectionate vampires that are rich and handsome, nor are they completely dehumanized zombies of the Resident Evil category... The protagonist is just a slight existence who has vague memories and yearnings for his "past life". The corpse, doing nothing every day but not contending with the world - the exchange of fire with humans is just for the sake of eating. To make an inappropriate analogy, there is nothing wrong with describing them as beings that dominate the earth, and treating the living as lambs to be slaughtered. And the appearance of the girl, like Bole's existence, saw a heart with human potential under this hideous appearance... and had some kind of affection for the kidnapper... In retrospect, maybe girls have this characteristic, Ann in King Kong, Evey in V for Vendetta, it's all...
In addition, the book also explains the whole story fluently, especially through the semi-spiritual communication between Perry and R. It also explains how Perry's transformation from a sunny and passionate boy to a stereotypically pessimistic soldier under the repression of war. This can be regarded as the author giving Julie a step down. After all, it is not unusual to fall in love with the murderer of her boyfriend... If it was me (knock wood), I should have been in the mood of a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Love it... In
the end, the happy ending in the book isn't my favorite. After all, it's too girly...
