The Road of the Dead 
I love reading mystery books and this book is a really good mystery book that I read.It is called The Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks.It is about a boy named Ruben who senses his sister death from the first page and his brother Cole and him search for their sisters killer. The book has you drawn in on every page and you dont want to put it down. Kevin brooks surprised me with his writing of keeping me drawn in the book and putting that mystery sense in my mind. I liked that strategy that he
I liked the plot of this story, it sounded like something that would be able to hook me right from the start. However, I found it rather hard to read. It's one of those books where you don't want to pick it up and read it, but once you do you can't really put it down. I'm not sure if I would recommend this to many people, but it's also not something I would say is horrible.

The Road of the Dead is one my favourite books of all time. I'll paint some pictures from the book for you: two gypsy brothers on a road trip, a murder in the moors, a shifty town with a secret and a low class organized crime with unstable henchmen and investigations a la Supernatural. Oh and there's also mysticism. Overall its pretty dark and gritty, but I read this as a teenager---and I have never felt so excited for a setting like this. I admired everything, from its storytelling, how the
This is about the third or fourth Kevin Brooks book that I have read. They are all so delightfully creepy but this one left me sort of cold. I like the book less and less as it went on. The brother's arrival in the village, and the dark, desolate moors and the unwelcoming townsfolk and the whole gypsy thing made it very eerie, but it the end, the book just sort of descended into violence and bloodshed, and there were so many evil henchmen that I could not keep them straight. I was getting tired
In this book, many different things happen. People go missing, people die, and people get beat up. This book will keep you on your toes, about who kills who and who you should trust and who you shouldn't. Rachel is Ruben and Cole's sister, she goes missing and a few days after she goes missing Ruben and Cole go looking for her. While ruben and cole are looking for Rachel they get into some trouble.I personally loved this book, the story kept me on my toes, kept my mind busy trying to put it all

Description Toward Books The Road of the Dead
On a storm-ravaged night, a 19-year-old girl is kidnapped, raped, and killed. Three days later, her two younger brothers set out in search of her murderer. Cole, 17, is a dark-eyed devil who doesn't care if he lives or dies, while Ruben, 14, is a strange child who sometimes, inexplicably, experiences sensations above and beyond his own. This is the story of the boys' journey from their half-gypsy home on a London junk lot to the ghostly moors of Devon, where they hope and fear to find the truth about their sister's death. It's a long road, cold and hard and violent. It's THE ROAD OF THE DEAD.Point Based On Books The Road of the Dead

This book was quite boring. I have read it a long time ago, but decided to re-read, because I have completely forgot what it was about. I gave up about 90 pages or so, as it completely failed to interest me. And I kind of remember not liking it the first time I readed. This book just really doesn't match my taste. Quite sad, because I just LOVED another book of this author. It's one of my all times favourites, called Black Rabbit Summer.I love reading mystery books and this book is a really good mystery book that I read.It is called The Road of the Dead by Kevin Brooks.It is about a boy named Ruben who senses his sister death from the first page and his brother Cole and him search for their sisters killer.
