Dead Sea by Brian Keene
3.0
Brian Keene breathed new life into the zombie genre with [b:The Rising|216213|The Rising|Brian Keene|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1402345248s/216213.jpg|209323] and [b:City of the Dead|90577|City of the Dead|Brian Keene|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348120199s/90577.jpg|87417] with an excellent slant on zombie lore.
Dead Sea is apart from that world. Here we have the standard zombie we all know and love: slow, stupid, disgusting, and ravenous. There are also a few non-standards up his sleeve, but I'll leave that up to discovery.
As always, Keene's pace is relentless, the story moves along like gangbusters. It's not my favorite of his (Ghoul takes that one, I think), but it's still very much worth reading if you're not sick of zombies by now.
A good, quick vacation read. 3.5 stars.
