Review: Gritty, scary view of the end

While reading this story I could not help wondering why I haven't heard more about this book, and this author.  The story is tight, the action is steady and the shocks are hard, and painful.  I am not a big fan of the shifting viewpoint, going from first person to third person, but that is simply a style thing.  Brett and Smith and the gang are all written as real characters and I became invested in their survival, so when one of them is killed the punch is particularly sharp.  No one is safe and death waits right around the corner.  These zombies aren't super fast or cunning, but their relentless nature makes them terrifying.  I can't wait for the sequel.
