She is stuck with other survivors and the camp seems save enough. But nothing lasts forever and you get to meet a mystic drunk character; Bob. You remember him, right?
A guy who loves the bottle and used to heal soldiers in Afghanistan but now he can barely heal himself. He is in love with the young girl Megan but she's already taken and she's married to the needle. She was a troubled kid at school along with Lilly who suffers from anxiety and together they smoked weed until Lilly took off to get an education and what can you use an education for when the apocalypse has begun? Well, you spent all your time reading books and go to your exams to get a grade and then suddenly the world goes down and everyone around you dies. So what can you do? Protect yourself by using a big guy who's in love with you. That's called a smart brain right? Josh is much older than Lilly and though he seems big and scary then he's soft as a sheep. He only kills the dead and he wants justice around the living..
So much that he's being kicked out of the camp they live in. Lilly, Megan, her boyfriend and Bob leaves with him and try to start a new together. They find a place to settle down and they seem safe and calm in this place but soon they are surrounded, the building is ruined and they have to leave right away. They end in up in this strange village called Woodbury and it does no take them long to discover that something is wrong in town. It's ruled by bad people who treats food for... pleasure or whatever else you have to offer them. Megan's boyfriend Scott disappears and no one seems to care and the Governor.. He seems to be a good man on the outside but a wacko on the inside. In other words: this place is definition of hell on Earth.
And what can they do? Josh and Lilly tries to find a new place and they end up in a big mansion where they think they are safe. But they are not... Not at all and they have to burn it down just to end up back in Woodbury. And that's where hell breaks loose. There is no way of punishing the bad guys and Josh ends up being dead. Poor guy, he really did not deserve it!
Lilly is now all alone, Megan is gone, Scott is gone, Josh is gone and Bob is drunk so what can she do?
All she can do is gather along with people like herself: Those who wants the Governor down. They make a big plan but it fails and Phillip Blake is ruling again... Why, why, why?
And that's where the gladiator fights or whatever you want to call them begins.
Now Woodbury is reborn and everything is just as we know it from TV and the graphic novels.
This book should be read by any Walking Dead fan and I know that you will not regret reading out.
Now I only got one question left... That big storm in this book, it's the biggest storm ever in Georgia! But it is not mentioned in the cartoons...? Dear Kirkman, why?
Have a nice day ;)
