Oh right, this is a zombie book. So much of the violence is just people being horrible. It's kind of weird to just have it mostly being the zombies. And the group doesn't do completely awful. Sure characters die, but some of them I can't tell apart anymore. Which is kind of a downside. They do need to get back to the characters. And do a bit less Rick. But still. This was a pretty good book. For a zombie book. 3.5 of 5.
****Spoilers ahead****
Now I love The Walking Dead, I love the TV series, I love the comics - I just can't get enough of reading/watching stuff about a post apocalyptic world with a bunch of zombies. This volume almost got 3 stars from me because whenever the group become stationary, the interpersonal dramatics come out. Everybody seems to have sex with everybody else, it's just crazy and not to mention horrifically boring. BUT in the latter half, the walls of The Community are breached and a herd of zombies are flowing into the compound. It was brilliant.
I loved seeing the new ruthless Rick, if you are trusting or too nice, you die. You need to be made of tough stuff to survive that world, people take advantage - friends and family members that turn need to be shot. It's all pretty horrific stuff. Carl getting shot was just the highlight at the end, I am dying to find out if he survives because I have read past the TV show now and so practically everything is a surprise.
This series would honestly get a five star rating every time but I just don't think everybody humping everybody else is realistic. Whenever new characters are introduced I am often left wondering who is going to end up having sex with that person - it happens so often it's predictable.
The speech that Rick gives at the end about the roamers being a manageable threat and his ideas about training an army is brilliant. It's about time Rick takes control back.

This book gave me chills. I think that the tenor of the comic will definitely change from this point on.

The walls is breached in Alexandria. Carl gets shot in the eye but different from the show. It was an accident.
