The Road to Woodbury by Robert Kirkman

2.0

I love the show The Walking Dead. That being said, this book... Not so much. I liked book #1 better. The characters weren't too smart. They made decisions that, in the apocalypse maybe would not have been made. There is Lilly. Scared of her own shadow. Yet still alive. Josh, big, football player sized, nice guy. That's mentioned on every page. Until he's killed. Megan is trying to numb her pain through random sex with whoever is in front of her and, drugs. Bob is a grizzled alcoholic army medic. He is suffering from PTSD from his time in Afghanistan. Scott is not a major character. He is with the others that leaves the small community and Megan's sex/drug partner. The five leave after Josh beats Chad to death. Chad is a mean, Governor like figure in the small community. Chad blamed Lilly for his daughters death. Even though Lilly (who was watching his daughters at the time) lead the "Walkers" away from his three remaining daughters. Josh is banished. The others follow. Chad just kind of got reincarnated in the butcher (the person that murders Josh). They were really just the same mean person. So after a slew of mishaps, walker clans, and other assorted what-can-go-wrong-will-go-wrong, they go to Woodbury. Here they meet the Governor. By that point I as kind of blah. But, the ending left me hoping maybe book 3 will return to how book 1 was.
