My Thoughts:

Before I fully begin my review, I have to admit: I love this cover! The artist did a fantastic job with the detail. The artist really caught Thalia's scared expression. The zombie was also drawn with a lot of detail. Dead: The Ugly Beginning is a fantastic zombie novel. I loved the Zombie Strippers reference in the introduction of the book. It has quite a realistic take of what would happen during a zombie apocalypse. Most things zombie movies don't cover, like when Steve wet his pants in the beginning would realistically happen. I liked most of the characters, except for Travis and Mister Abernathy. They were both horrible people and deserved everything that happened to them. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it had several rape scenes. Dead left off on a cliffhanger, and had me theorizing about what would happen. It's a great zombie novel that will keep you awake late at night reading, but it's not for the faint of heart. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an original zombie story.

I give Dead: The Ugly Beginning: 4/5.
