Customer Reviews

A must read for fans of the walking dead

This book is absolutely amazing. Fans of the show and the comics will love this book, even if your'e just looking for a zombie book to read this is the book for you. Ive read this book twice and both times I had a hard time putting this book down once i picked it up.

Amazing twist

I recently got into the comics and was referred to check this book out. From beginning to end, this book was amazing. Anyone who has watched the show or has read the comics knows the governor as the villain, which is why you'll find disappointment in yourself for falling for this character in the beginning. I suggest anyone check this series out. I'm in the middle of reasing the second book, The Road to Woodbury, and it's just as good.
