Really enjoyed this one. Lots of messed up stuff in terms of people killing. Psychopaths galore. Then there's the new town where everyone's pretending life's perfect. I'm not even there and it's giving me the willies. Imagine being choosing to be ignorant to all that danger wow. Classic rick wants to steal people's homes instead of build his own though lol

I feel like Walking Dead works best when the characters are stuck in one place, so seeing them find a new community was great.

Goodreads suggests that if I like this volume, I might check out [b:Chew, Vol. 1: Taster's Choice|6839093|Chew, Vol. 1 Taster's Choice|John Layman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1409985990l/6839093._SY75_.jpg|7050578], which I have, and I love. This is a fantastic and appropriate recommendation, given the new villains presented in this storyarc, which I think of as "Tainted Meat."
(Non-plot spoiler alert: It's us! We're the tainted meat! God we suck as a post-zombie society.)
There are some plot twists in this volume that might work better than previous volumes plot twists, I'm unsure, as I could definitely see them coming, but even though I don't remember the details of the story from the first time I read this storyarc (when it came out), I have read it before, so my subconscious is being a bit of a cheater.
Much like the previous volume, this is a Road Trip book where the characters barely have time to get comfortable somewhere before they're on the move again. We also get to know Abraham and Eugene a bit more, much like we got to know Hershel and his family in Volume Two, so it doesn't seem like things are going to end well for them.
The callousness of the decision making in this book is intriguing as Rick doesn't appear to be making decisions based on his mental instability, but the fact the reader knows he's having problems dealing with reality calls all of his future decision making into question.

I can't handle this series. I am reading it so fast and then forgetting to review them! It's making me want to rewatch the show from the start so freakin' bad!! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

I don't think I can say anything I haven't said in reviews for earlier parts if this series. There are things I like and things I don't like

In book 6, the group runs into a preacher, a pack of cannibals, and an entire gated community. Meanwhile the zombies are starting to act a little funny - they're starting to just keel over and sort of die (again). It'll be interesting to find out what this means, if the creators are going to make this a sort of time-elapsed virus that's coming to an end or what. I didn't think the new character the preacher really brought anything to the table. He tells his sob story and then he's just a hanger-on, shadowing the group wherever they go. At one point someone said something about Gabriel and I was like who? Oh yeah, the preacher man. So maybe he'll add something to the story later. The cannibal sequence was pretty scary (a decent trade-off for the weak zombies of this issue). I was wondering when they'd throw in some people-eaters. Rick and the gang seem to be somewhat safe now in their new neighborhood but it all just seems too perfect and quiet and the people seem a bit off. Their politician leader is giving me the willies, especially in his pursual of poor Andrea. I'm looking forward to finding out what happened to these people under their previous leader, the infamous Davidson. According to amazon.com book 7 will be available October 16th. Agh, the suspense!
