Ugh. This was my least favorite of the series so far. Super violent and fairly depressing.

The Governor appears!

I remember absolutely LOATHING the Governor on the show when I realized what a godforsaken psychopath he was. He's apparently even worse in the comics, and I'm actually glad the show toned things down. I'm pretty sure my jaw was dropped for the whole second half of this volume!

Rick has been through so much, and he definitely has changed over the books. I’m surprised that they’ve lasted this long in the prison.

I had to put this down a few times because it got way too graphic. Just when you think things couldn't get any worse for Rick and the crew they run into the "Governor". I can't wait to see how and if they get out of this mess.

Like the other novels, I really liked it, despite some passages quite eventful . The arrival of the governor is pretty intense and I look forward to read more .

Tout comme les autres romans, j'ai vraiment aimé celui-ci, malgré quelques passages assez riche en émotions. L'arrivé du gouverneur est assez intense et j'ai hâte de lire la suite.
