Product Description
Review
“Fred Berman’s narration is smooth and keeps listeners engaged throughout this audio version. He develops solid, authentic-sounding voices for most of the book’s characters, particularly the authoritative Phillip and Brian, whose voice is soft with a hint of weakness…As the narrative moves into more pitched moments, Berman chooses pauses and projection with a great deliberateness, adding to the suspense and making the prose all the more impactful” – Publishers Weekly
“There’s a lot of grisly uncomfortable stuff here, and I can’t imagine another narrator handling it better. I look forward to hearing [Fred Berman] again soon.” – SFFaudio
“The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor is the perfect Halloween listen full of zombie action, a touch of gore, and some intriguing characters trying to survive in a changed world” – The Guilded Earlobe
Book Description
Winner of the 2011 Diamond Gem Award for Trade Book of the Year
In the Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople’s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial in the history of the Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

This review is from: The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor (Hardcover)
Just one word : WOW. Personaly I don't like to read, but this book was so intense I was unable to stop reading it. If you are a fan of The walking dead comic, this book is definitly for you. It is really good. If you can't think of having sentiments for the Gorverner, just read this book and you will understand everything. I recommend it to everyone who love zombies things.

I'm a fan of the graphic novels and tv series but not this book,
By BJD "love 2 cook" (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor (Hardcover)
Maybe I had high expectations, as I'm a huge fan of the genre and of Kirkman, but I found this book to be a bit of a disappointment.The book takes place shortly after a zombie apocalypse, and it talks about how a band of men try to find safety in an unsafe world. To add to the writing challenge, anyone interested in this story is probably familiar with the graphic novel series, and already knows that the protagonist of this story turns into the antagonist later on. However, most of the conflicts throughout the book are very clichéd, and the outcomes very predictable. The ending takes a very lazy turn at the end to try and neatly wrap everything up. It's a must for hardcore fan of the series, but I ultimately I expected more.

This review is from: The Walking Dead: Rise of The Governor (Hardcover)
First off. I'm a huge fan of the grphic novel series, and a fan of the TV series. Now Kirkman has given us a novel about The Governor and how he became to be! You couldn't ask for anything better.
