Customer Reviews

Monster Nation

Great book loved the characters. Monster Nation even better that Monster Island, love David Wellington. Reading the third now. Love this series.

Gift for my son

Just love saving money over store cost, not going to the store and my son says the book is great!

Monster Nation, a worthy follow-up story.

If you love ZOMBIES, this is the book for you. Monster Island is the most incredible zombie story ever written, and this second book in the series is worthy of being the continuation of the story. If you don't love zombies, but you love a good read this book is definitaly worth checking out. A third book is on the way as well, Monster World. I've had many of my friends read these two books, whether they are zombie fans or not, and they have all agreed that they are incredible stories. Good reads, and completely recomended by one of the biggest zombie fans of all time, Me.

An Epic Continues

David Wellington can tell a frickin' zombie story! Monster Island was terrific, but Monster Nation goes a shambling step further to provide a deeper, more passionate story that possesses a strangely lyrical quality while at the same time managing to send shivers right up the spine. That takes talent. If you've read Monster Island...then read this right now. If you haven't read Monster Island (and...what's the matter with you?) then get that one and this one. This is the Grand Epic of the Zombie mythology.

A hit for zombie fiction!

I found Monster Island first and really enjoyed the dark desolate overtones that novel put out. So reading the next book in the series was a must. While Monster Island takes place after the world has been overrun, this novel takes place before and during. The book starts with a bang and just keeps on going at a pretty good pace. There's not too much talking nor is there excessive action. It's a well balanced novel in my opinion. The author does put his own spin on the rise of the zombies which jives with his first novel. I thought it worked out pretty well given that every zombie novel wants to always deal with "why did this happen?" I would definitely recommend this novel. And you don't have to start with Monster Island either.

Great read!

I found this book by accident online. After reading the first chapter I was hooked. Read the entire story in a 2 day period. It was THAT good. I would recommend this book to any and all Zombie lovers. Thanks Mr.Wellington, I am loving Frostbite!
