Publisher Description
What will you do? How far will you go? What will you become?
Welcome to Banoi, a tropical island where you can leave the stresses of the world behind...
Welcome to the Royal Palms Resort - which offers its guests from around the world the ultimate in luxury and relaxation...
Welcome to the holiday paradise where your dreams should come true...but where a nightmare is about to begin....
Because a mysterious epidemic has suddenly, and without warning, broken out across the island. The local islanders, hotel guests and workers alike are struck down - only to rise again, craving the flesh and the blood of the still living. For four of the holidaymakers and a handful of others scattered around Banoi who are seemingly unaffected by the plague, they must face the awful, terrifying reality of a zombie apocalypse. Now there is only one thing left to do: survive.
Welcome to Dead Island... a paradise to die for.
Customer Reviews
Amazing
Absolutely brilliant book but would advise to read the book then play the game or play the game then read the book.
Different but lacklustre
The book (like the game) has a great start and character intros. But it all kind of falls flat by the end with too many plot twists and conveniences. The ending is also super rushed. The game was also, but I expected a better cohesive story from the book.
Decided to spoil the storyline of the game for myself.
Having played the game I was curious to see what the book was like.
The story is good but is somewhat repetitive in places (we need to go here and do this, aww no, now we need to go there and do this!).
I wouldn't say it gripped me throughout but by the end you want to know what is going on. The ending did seem a bit rushed however but did leave you feeling at least partially satisfied.
I would recommend this to fans of the game and anyone of the zombie genre. It's an easy read as well so not too taxing to pick up.
