Zombie Island Shakespeare Undead Book 2 eBook Lori Handeland
Overall a fun read. These are fun modern twists to the mythos of Shakespeare. I did enjoy how the quotes from Shakespeare were worked in to each chapter. Interesting the way the story developed. Yes I am aware there are some jumps (day to night, night to day), and some bending of the rules (vampires awake during some daylight hours), not needing blood constantly to survive.The way the book was written based on where the story was going and with amount of pages left I was thinking there was going to be another book. That it wouldn't have finished and we would rather be waiting for another book. That I think is my only complaint. The ending made sense, but I also felt it may have been somewhat of a cop-out. Either way I would probably re-read the series again. Hoping for more from the author.

I was sooo excited when I opened my mail and found this one!! What can I say I have a zombie problem. While I did have some issues with certain things, I did enjoy the story a lot overall.
I found Kate and William both highly entertaining. I laughed out loud at quite a few parts. I liked how the author worked in famous quotes. Plus I really enjoyed the different story ideas that would pop into Shakespeare's head, especially when the ideas were for more modern stories. Then there was Ariel. I liked watching how she tried to figure out exactly what love was and seeing how she and Caliban worked out.
I loved the little quotes from The Tempest at the beginning of each chapter, and how Handeland made each chapter relate to its quote. I also liked the author's style. Between her descriptions and her characters she really drew me into the story and I couldn't wait to see where she would go.
The issues I had with the story...
My biggest problem was the timing of the story. One minute it would be nighttime, or have to be night since Shakespeare was awake, and the next minute it would be daytime. I got frustrated because I kept rereading parts of the story thinking I had missed something. I found that as long as I just ignored whether it was day or night I really enjoyed the story.
My second concern was the ending itself. It just seemed rather abrupt. Don't get me wrong, it made sense, but there was all this excitement and rushing to save the world from the zombie menace, and then poof, it was just over. Maybe I didn't like it because I was enjoying the book so much I didn't want it to end. *Shrug* I just know that while the ending was logical, it just wasn't very satisfying.
Because of the issues I had with the novel, it's very hard for me to rate the finished product.
Zombie Island was funny; I think I laughed on almost every page. The novel enticed me to want to read the first book in the series, Shakespeare Undead. It also makes me want to read any other sequels the author might come up with. However between the concerns I had with the story seeming to jump between day and night and the way it just ended, I feel bad giving it 5 stars.
Would I read it again? Yep! Would I read more of the author's work? Definitely! Would I recommend this book? Of course!
With that being said, I had I have to give it 3 1/2 out of 5 controllers. Yes I loved the book, but the issues were rather important ones and affected my overall enjoyment of the story, however I would still recommend reading Zombie Island if you get a chance.

The course of true love never did run smooth…
Having defeated the zombie horde that had invaded London, vampire and playwright William Shakespeare is on to his next plot. Wishing to rid his true love, Katherine Dymond, of her overbearing husband, the two concoct a plan where she will fake her own death via a potion he acquires. Once she is “dead” all he need to is wait, break in to the crypt where she is to be entombed and the two can live happily ever after.
True love, however, has other plans for the two. Knowing his wife is being cuckolded by a lowly playwright, Katherine’s husband instead takes her body with him when he leaves for America. When their ship is wrecked and all hands believed lost, William immediately goes after them only to find himself wrecked on the same mysterious island.
It is an island that is on no known map and is ruled by a mad wizard. Zombies run rampant and there is more afoot than simply survival.
Zombie Island picks up almost immediately where Shakespeare Undead leaves off. However, while Shakespeare Undead was a wholly original story with only brief mentions of Shakespeare’s plays, Zombie Island is the opposite. It is based heavily on the play The Tempest, even featuring quotes from the play at the beginning of each chapter.
There were numerous issues I had with Zombie Island, but I believe the most profound one came because of the dialogue. At times it felt clunky and awkward. Also, while the addition of actual Shakespearean quotes as dialogue was nice, because the characters didn’t speak like that constantly it only served to pull one out of the story.
I must admit, dear reader, that I didn’t enjoy Zombie Island as much as I enjoyed Shakespeare Undead. There seemed to be something missing and it just did not hold my attention as well as the first one. Sadly, I can’t recommend this one for every reader.
This book was a gift for my son,these are his favorite kind of stories, I really don't know much about them as I don't read these type of stories.
when you read shakespeare undead,you want to read ZOMBIE ISLAND because of the passion that flows through every page. As i read i felt like i was the dark haired woman Kate.I highly recommend both these books!!!! I AM CROSSING MY TOES AND FINGERS BECAUSE I HOPE SHE WRITES MORE BOOKS LIKE THIS.
Overall a fun read. These are fun modern twists to the mythos of Shakespeare. I did enjoy how the quotes from Shakespeare were worked in to each chapter. Interesting the way the story developed. Yes I am aware there are some jumps (day to night, night to day), and some bending of the rules (vampires awake during some daylight hours), not needing blood constantly to survive.
