    Anyone else reading this? I'm half way through and really struggling to continue. So many unlikable characters including Lilly. I might be biased against her since playing the game though. Can anyone tell me if it picks up a bit and gets a bit more interesting?

    I loved the 1st book but this is very generic and boring.

    I was actually going to start a thread on this myself. It's a decent read, nothing amazing. I haven't played the game yet or read the first book, is that the Rise of the Governor? The Road to Woodbury picks up a little toward the end iirc. but don't blame me if you keep reading! :P How much input do you think Robert Kirkman has really? He seems a very hands-on guy so I'd be surprised if he all he did was put his name to it but its not as gripping as the TV show or Comics.

    Rise of the governor is class, great story and characters. I just got onto the woodbury part in this one and its starting to pick up. Nice having a character who was in the last book aswell.

    Yeah would wonder how much input he has alright and if the books are canon to the walking dead story line. The game is spose to be canon but lilly has a very different story.

    I think I remember reading that the original plan was for lilly to be the same character accross three of the mediums (Book, comics, games) but then someone over Kirkman's head changed her in the games (I think). Now he sees that one as being a different character altogether, with just the same name.
