The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor

I finished reading this two weeks ago, and I am thoroughly disappointed as a fan of the comics. I feel like the majority of it read as just any other zombie novel, with only minor tie-ins to the comics until the last 50 pages or so. I don't buy the plot twist at the end of the book, and I feel like any part of him "rising as the governor" which is promised by the title alone doesn't even happen in the book. I feel like I wasted my money on this. Some people may like it, but I don't recommend it to anyone. Kirkman said if the book sells well he'll have more books released about the other characters like Tyrese and Abraham, but if they turn out like this one, I am not interested. Does anyone else have any opinions on this book?

 I’m just going say that the second novel will be out in October, and it’s going to be called The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury, and it’s going to be a direct sequel to Rise of the Governor. We’re going to meet new characters as they come to Woodbury and see how Woodbury is founded, and how the Governor continues to grow as a character. It all takes place before we met the Governor in the comic book series, and there’s a lot more story to tell with that guy. We’ll also look at others—Lilly is going to be another focus. It’s going to be fun to explore those characters again.

Thanks for the heads up, but I'll probably pass on it.
