I found it really hard to care about the characters, and they didn’t seem to have many distinguishing characteristics from one another, which led to me constantly confusing them. The plot felt very bland and meandering, and even when it got the the “action” part, I was bored out of my skull. The Walking Dead novels overall have been a huge disappointment, and I think this universe is better experienced in the graphic novel format.

The Walking Dead in China, interesting take involving how the Communist party handles the dead rising from the grave.

An enjoyable, well written novel in a new and exciting setting. I would recommend to any fan of the Walking Dead.
Note: have not read any of the other Walking Dead books, yet.

A story from the Walking Dead universe, but set in China. The new setting was a fresh take on the series, and interestingly the story had little to do with the zombies. Obviously they were there and defining the action, but the story was completely focused on the people. The TV show certainly does that as well, but this seemed to de-emphasize the zombies more. Not a bad thing, but if you're looking for zombie action, not a lot here. The human angle was good though, plenty of gripping action.

Fun and easy read. Definitely could have been longer, fleshed out the characters more.

I don't know what I expected but this was as bad as the last main book in the series
