Monster Island - Zombie, Bk 1
Author: David Wellington
It's one month after a global disaster. The most "developed" nations of the world have fallen to the shambling zombie masses.

Not all its cracked up to be, unfortunately - but still a good zombie romp. Its weakness is dependence on intelligent zombies and psychic abilities, something the 'zombie purist' in me cringes at. I understand the second and third books become even more dependent on these plot elements, so maybe this is the book I'd enjoy most out of the three. The best parts, involved the colorful Heinleinian female characters. I didn't like it enough to hold on to my own copy, but I'm happy to have read it.

This book was pretty good, a unique zombie novel, not that I have read many zombie novels. I really liked knowing Gary's zombie thoughts. Thinking zombies? Creepy! I highly recommend this book if you like books about zombies or books about the end of the world. It was interesting, different, original, and, of course, gory!

It's like the Muppets Take Manhattan except with zombies. A nice little supernatural twist is thrown in the mix too. Good times.

A good zombie read, though it gets a bit paranormal which I didn't expect. Though I like paranormal, it was odd. But I liked the characters and the story was scary, gross, bloody and icky. I have the other two books as well and will get to them eventually.

Interesting and different view on what the Zombie Apocalypse would be like. Definitely gave a different spin to it so it wasn't the same as all the other zombie novels. It was a quick easy read, didn't entirely keep my attention, but it was at least a change of pace.

I have read all three books in this series. I have become David Wellingtons new #1 fan. He starts the books out in New York after the epidemic. The characters are great and it is easy to follow. I was happy to see that he continued with the second book without losing any of the story. He closed the series with book three with a GREAT ending. There are characters that you thought were gone and popped up here. There was closure at the end of book three for all of the characters, big and small. I was really impressed that he made it hard to forget each and every one of them. If you are able to get all three at once don't hesitate. I got mine from Barnes and Noble used books for under 25$(for all three and that included shipping)You will want to go directly into the next book as soon as your done. Check out his website, He has some awesome online stuff also.
