I have read all the walking dead comics and novels so far, so I have a decent understanding of the universe created by Kirkman and Bonansinga. I absolutely love it and will probably continue reading them until the series stops. Unfortunately lately the novels have not been as awesome. There were a few moments in this one where the characters took certain choices that either made little sense or knew something that would have been impossible for them to know. Bonansinga took a couple of easy choices and cheap writing along the way. I hope the future ones will improve to the regular high standard.
