Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Zombies?I brought both Monster Island and Monster Nation and DONT plan on getting the third part. They were an OK read if you have nothing else, these were given to my local charity shop as they had no re-read value to me. The Zombie idea has been going for decades now and yes things need to be done to change the same old story BUT zombies that can go invisible or have telepathic powers to control other zombies or even humans is WAY to far. I would suggest you leave this book and try David Moody and his Autum series Rating:  - The Killing JokeI bought this book on the strenght of all the good reviews it got... But it seems these people were playing a cunning trick and the joke is on me for buying this novel. It bored the life out of me! Rating: - Missed a triackThis book annoyed the hell out of me, Why travel all the way to New York, when you could easily reach Greece,Italy, France, Spain or UK in a couple of days by boat???? Shame there was a half-decent story in there waiting to come out, spoilt by that huge plot hole, A Scottish Bog Mummy and a giant Zombie. Rating:  - Loved it.I don't often review books, but I'll make an exception here. I saw this book a few times, read the cover then put it back. There was something about school girl zombie killers that put me off. But eventually I caved in and I brought it. I really enjoyed it and found it to be a real page turner. I normally only read on the train to/from work but I finished this off on a Saturday afternoon. My only disappointment was it was a short book (379 pages). But every page was interesting. So, great book, really looking forward to reading the next one, and don't be put off by the school girl zombie killers. It makes perfect sense. Rating: - not as good......as folk are making out. The writing is quite dry, there's no real impetus to get to the end and despite one or two good ideas, I found this quite unsatisfying. Lucky for me, I bought a couple of zombie books at the same time, and the second one I read was actually fantastic. By all means buy this book to see what it's like, but do what I did too - get The Rising by Brian Keene, which is a much more vivid book, indeed more like a movie than a book, and read it after Monster Island. I'll be surprised if you don't appreciate the jump in literary power, imagination and outright horror that The Rising provides.
