Review: Suspenseful but lacking in some areas

I'm a fan of horror novels but not of zombie stories in particular. That being said this novel is definitely suspenseful but for me it was also lacking in a few areas.  Much of the plot revolves around the main characters running back and forth across the island fighting off the monsters.  It's very repetitive.  And even given the horror they're experiencing the main players are not really empathetic at all. But my biggest complaint is that there is no real explanation for WHY the horror is occurring.  If you like graphic gore than you'll probably enjoy this story.  More background and character development, though, would add to the story, as would a less predictable ending.
