Brian Keene is one of my favorite authors. He has a gritty realism in his writing and main characters who are easy to sympathize with, and this book was no exception to this. Dead Sea has alot of gore and action -- reading it was like watching a late-night R-rated horror movie. But while I enjoyed the book, the ending seemed flat and depressing.
I've read a couple of other Brian Keene's books, and they have all shared these same traits--gritty, down-to-earth characters, non-stop movie-type action, and a tone of hopelessness and depression that makes me wonder what was the point. Have you ever watched a great action, special-effects movie that you are really enjoying, but you keep thinking 'cool, but where is this going?' That is Dead Sea.

This was my first foray into the zombie genre after reading most of the great vampire stuff out there. I enjoyed this one as an easy read. Full of action for some of it. You don't get too attached to any of the characters since they aren't in the book long.
There are probably better zombie books out there, but it was a fun/easy read.

One of the best horror writers I've come across in a long time. Very gory, very gross, very sickening but if you like horror this is for you!
