A review by obscuredbyclouds
Rise of the Governor by Jay Bonansinga, Robert Kirkman

1.0

I forced myself through this, because it's only about 300 pages long and I wanted to see how it plays out. It's horribly written from the first page, the characters are flat (and the Governor is unrecognizable from the show), the story is meandering and boring. There were about 3 moments in the book that were exciting in that "oh, who will be eaten by a zombie NOW" and "Is this the moment his daughter is gonna die?" kinda way.

Lowlights were definitely the rape scene and how the rape was used as a plot device and handled afterwards. For story telling devices, this is just scraping the barrel.
