Rating: - A Winner
I am new to Brian Keene but have been making up for it reading anything I can get my hands on.
This book was a fun read although the the characters were going through a world running wild. I loved the main character but didn't know I would so much when the story started. I have never read a book where the main character is over 80 years old! As you read, you never EVER know what to expect next.
Highly Recommended reading.
Rating:  - A differnt take on the end of us...
I have been a fan of Keene's work for a while and really liked his zombie books. As an avid fan of end of the world style fiction I was still a bit put off by the cover and promise of killer worms. Nevertheless, I was stuck in a small town during the holidays with little reading options, and the local bookstore had this. Long story short, I decided to pick it up. Once I got started I really loved this book. The premise is handled well and never becomes silly. I also found the divergence to ... Read More
Rating: - Keene does it again
I am an avid Keene fan. His zombie books are fun and original, and this story didn't disappoint either.
It has been raining for 42 days and nights, and most of the world is now under water. No one is sure what has brought about this apocalyptic event and to the author's credit, he leaves that conclusion to the individual reader. This is a story about the end of civilization as we know it and the last survivors. It is not a happy tale, but it is an exciting one.

Rating: - GOOD PULPY FUN!
Brian Keene is not writing literature, his writing is good pulpy fun. Keene's success in telling a story is based upon his ability to create characters that you care about. I think this is an area where so many horror writers fail. The plot could take us in any direction at this point because we care about these people and we are even interested in the minutiae of their daily lives. Keene exposes us to the surreal very early in the novel and it captivates our attention immediately. The other facet ... Read More
Rating:  - Large things that crawl in the mud
I love discovering a new author, at least one that is new to me, Brian Keene, a well known name in the horror world was just that. Being a two-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award for "Jobs in Hell." in 2001, and again in 2003 for his well received zombie tale "The Rising." Then a 2004 Shocker Award (Non-Fiction) for "Sympathy For the Devil." His list of works is staggering. I'm going to stop here for a long second and go into my consulting mode and do some arithmetic, 15 novels, 10 short story ... Read More
