  12. The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor ~ Parts 1 & 2 by Robert Kirkman & Jay Bonansinga ~ Started: 15.03.14 ~ Finished: 20.03.14 Title of Book: The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor ~ Parts 1 & 2 Name of Author: Robert Kirkman & Jay Bonansinga Editions: Kindle ASINS: B00FDQPFWE (Part 1) & B00HPYMVGA (Part 2) Number of Pages: 356 pages (Part 1) & 287 pages (Part 2) Synopsis ~ Über-villain Phillip Blake has come a long way. He journeyed from humble beginnings into the dark heart of the zombie apocalypse. And here, he has manoeuvred to become a small town’s self-proclaimed leader. But Woodbury’s residents (those who survive) will live to regret the day Blake, aka the Governor, darkened their doors. For the Governor runs a twisted, violent dictatorship within Woodbury’s ever-tightening barricades. Those that manage to breach those barricades find only misery within, and the terror of the zombie menace without. The Governor’s complex story continues in a tour de force of action and horror. Iconic characters from the comic book, including Rick, Michonne, and Glenn, make their entrance onto this nightmarish stage, and fans of The Walking Dead will see these characters in a whole new light. What I thought of 'The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor ~ Parts 1 & 2' ~ Following on from the events in 'The Road to Woodbury', a year has passed and Lilly Caul is still living in Woodbury under the watchful eye of The Governor, the arena fights are still going on and the residents of the town are facing starvation, living under the threat of attacks from the walkers outside, etc. Lilly and other residents go on daily scavenging missions to find supplies, not knowing that a few miles away there are survivors living in a prison and that some of the survivors are coming to Woodbury to find out what they are facing, to find out if the residents of Woodbury are friends or foes. Their confrontation with The Governor begins a war, a war where Lilly must decide who to believe and who to fight for. I liked Lilly more in 'The Fall of The Governor' as opposed to 'The Road to Woodbury' where I found her to be slightly annoying, very self involved and despite her many denials, she only thought of herself. In 'The Fall of The Governor' there is a definite change in Lilly, she is more focused and her belief in The Governor confuses her, she does not know whether to trust him or not, which as a reader I found very frustrating. I also found Lilly more grounded this time around and liked seeing her building a healthy relationship and making plans, I felt her sadness when she experienced a loss. I loved the appearance of Michonne, Glenn and Rick, having read volume 1 of 'The Walking Dead Compendium' and watched the tv show, I knew the outcome but it was good to read it from the point of view of Lilly. The only downside of the books was the fact it was in two parts and I am not the most patient person but I did enjoy both books and I do think there is a potential for more books about Woodbury and Lilly Caul. Recommended. Rating for both books: 3/5
  13. Happy reading Geordie
  14. Great haul Devi! enjoy them all
  15. I enjoyed 'Dr Sleep', I am always a bit sceptical about sequels (and I'm almost usually wrong), 'Dr Sleep' was well worth the wait, can't wait to read it again.
