Reading David Wellington's Monster Island

I've always been partial to stories and movies about the unliving...or however you would refer to them. I really have no idea why I'm so into them, since I'm a huge baby and hardly watch horror films unless they're humorous. But anyway, I just can't seem to leave the theme of zombies alone. I don't like them, but I like reading and watching stories and films about them, I can't figure it out, but what the hell.
  Wellington's series: Monster Island is really interesting to me. Not anticipating reading much into it before getting bored, I have already read through 16 chapters. His take on the walking dead is kind of refreshing. Although it has aspects that I've seen in other theme-related pieces, I really want to read through the series, I feel that I'm reading something really different I've never seen before. I love the descriptions he uses, as disgusting as they may be, it really helps bring the reader into the series. It also seems believable to me, as much as I'd hope zombies would never ever exist... The portrayal of New York City really gets me too, as a New Yorker...kind of creeps me out. 
  The reality of the situations and problems in the story are really refreshing to me. It's all practical, aside from the living dead. For instance; the decomposition of the bodies, the survival rate of certain areas, the disposal of bodies and the terrible scenes that a place once full of population could produce. One of the most intriguing things in the story, to me, so far is the perspective. Reading from a zombie's point of view makes you understand the whole idea of them (sort of). It's something that will have me reading the series until I have no free time, or until he stops writing them...probably the first, but it's rare for me to find something I will so willingly read. So I'm impressed. And hopefully will read more. The end.
