I always love a good "end of the world" book. While the Island was intriguing, I found it to be ho hum and without a strong plotline. That being said, I am still interested to see where it goes and will read the next book in the series.

I am writing this after reading the full series of the island because in order to really to get the full feel of this story you need to read it all!

It's in 5 parts but it builds up as the story progresses. Some people may find book one - 'hard' ( I'm not sure hard is the best word) - so I will say 'different' (maybe), as the whole plot line isn't there but as I say in the next few books it really does come in to play a lot more and things really do develop more.

It has a very 'narrative' kind show more of feel about it, (with insights into the main characters life) but with a touch of creepiness thrown in for good measure.

It kind of reminded me of the way Stephen king writes, he gives you that narrative from the character with little facts and details which I personally found interesting, with little hints at what is to come so you want to read more, then things get really creepy as it progresses.

I'm not sure of what happened for things to get the way they are in the book/series, but I got the impression there would be a follow up which I will definitely read which may explain further.

I would highly recommend you give this a go.

At this moment in time the first three books of the series are free, so if you are not hooked after those like I was, - you haven't lost out.

I would strongly suggested that you please don't give up after book one, all the books are really short so if book 2 and 3 are still free - download and carry on.

And if you were totally addicted to them, get book 4 and 5, they were only 0.99p in the iBook store. Bargain!

If you like the writing of stephen king, creepiness, a bit of horror and storytelling give them a read...........Oh just read them anyway! show less

I was intrigued enough to download three part of this novel from my Nook bookstore, mostly because they were free and the reading was easy. To get the closing chapters now requires payment and I'm seriously not sure it's worth spending the cash to find the resolution to this doomsday scenario.
