A review by keaschultz
The Walking Dead Book 4 by Robert Kirkman

3.0

I'm kind of torn about this one. I thought it was okay, but I gave it three stars because I can't wait to read the next one and see what happens next. It was a little too gruesome for me, but considering that it's a comic about a zombie apocalypse, I guess that's more of my own problem. My biggest complaint is the weak female characters, who (other than Michonne) will go shoot up a bunch of animate cadavers one second, and then say something like, "I think we should have a baby," or, "Does this make me look fat?" Are you serious??

Spoiler

Regardless, I'm relieved that the governor is finally dead now. I was hoping that he died after what Michonne did to him, but I'm kinda glad that someone from Woodbury finally realized what a psychopath he was. I do think that it will be interesting in the next book now that the group is split up-- though I do hope that they reunite eventually. And they will likely have a much harder time surviving serious injuries (they survived a lot of crazy stuff in this book) now that Alice and Herschel are both dead. I think it will be interesting to see where they go now that the prison is ruined for everybody (way to go, Woodbury).

So far the first book has been my favorite, but I'm not going to stop reading them. I think I actually like the TV show better, but the show definitely has an advantage, since the books don't have Daryl.
