First came The Walking Dead comic books and then came the highly rated TV show starring Andrew Lincoln which was written/produced by Frank Darabont whose credits include the incredible 'The Shawshank Redemption' and the underrated 'The Green Mile', now we have The Walking Dead novel.

 This is a new trilogy of books written by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga, Kirkman is the comic book writer for The Walking Dead graphic novels and Bonansinga is a respected author of novels 'Perfect Victim' and 'Shattered' amongst others.

Set in the world created by Robert Kirkman this standalone trilogy is fast-paced, action-packed storytelling about the lengths some men will go to survive. With new characters, new storylines and with the same in-depth character-based plotting that has made the television series such an immediate hit, this trilogy of novels is sure to be a hit with those who love zombies and those who have loved the TV series and comic books.

Robert Kirkman is a New York Times bestselling author known for being the cultural zeitgeist of the comic book industry. He maintains oneprerogative in every undertaking: quality. It is Kirkman's belief that good people who produce good writing and good ideas make comics people love. Kirkman was recently made partner at Image Comics, and continues to revive the industry with refreshing new characters. AMC is adapting his bestselling series, The Walking Dead, into a TV series (set to debut in October 2010), and his books are among the most popular on the iPhone and iPad's "Comics" app.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE says, “Jay Bonansinga has quickly and firmly established himself as one of the most imaginative writers of thrillers. His twisting narratives, with their in-your-face glimpses of violence, are set in an unstable, almost psychotic universe that makes the work of many of his contemporaries look rather tame.”

This review is from: The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor (Paperback)

If your a fan of the walking dead books I would highly recommend you buy this book. Not only does it give you as much detail about the city it also gives you the feeling you are with them on thier conquest for safety, If you are new to the collection you may find it alot easy to read the hardback books fist (just to fill you in on who is who). For me I am a die hard fan of the TV show and the hard back collection and hate the wait for the new book to come out. As what my title said when I got to the end of the book it was a real mind blower and left me with the feeling of WOW. So to cut a lond story short GET THIS BOOK.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to this phenom., 23 Oct 2011

This review is from: The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor (Paperback)

OK, I'm one of those people who hasn't read the comic book (yeah, I know, boo hiss) although in my defence I am set to borrow them from my twin who's a big fan and thus helped fill in some of the blanks for me as I have been watching the show. When he originally heard that I had a copy of this book, let's just say that "hostage negotiations" started out heavily in my favour and that I got not only an exceptional deal (the promise of a load of Xbox 360 zombie games) but also the promise that a book with Kirkman backed by seasoned professional Bonansinga would only extend my pleasure of the series.

What I got from this book (having had a Governor style tactic of reading it before letting him anywhere near it) was a story that fleshed out a character who has been thought of by comic fans as one of the most heinous monsters to ever see ink with his zombie battles, his human mutilations and of course his draconian style of rule that brooks no argument as we follow his rise from a caring loving man to his own transformation to be the man fans love to hate. It's well conceived, it has some great moments within and of course the reader is in for a treat in this new format as it was hard to put down.

All in I got a lot of fun from this and whilst I usually let others read the undead side of things, this one was done for pure pleasure and curiosity, I'm really pleased I did.
