The Road to Woodbury by Robert Kirkman

3.0

As the follow-up to "Rise of the Governor," I expected more time to be spent at Woodbury. Of course this is "Road to Woodbury" and so the first half of the book was essentially just Lilly + cohorts getting there. I didn't really care for her as a main character, she seemed so cowardly even after reading the previous book through the character of Brian. Lilly takes too long to stand up for herself in any way. On the other hand, she was great compared to Megan, who honestly was just a slutty pothead. Some have argued that there's some major "slut shaming" going on, but I didn't think that as I read. She never does anything to help her so-called "friends," instead she just screws whoever to get more weed. Megan probably had a few diseases near the ending. Useless in terms of survival.
This book did not grip me as much as its predecessor had, and by the end I wasn't satisfied. Perhaps it was just the lack of twists? Overall decent, but "Rise of the Governor" is just much better.
