Rise of the Governor by Jay Bonansinga, Robert Kirkman
3.0
Rise of the Governor was an okay and interesting audio book. The pace was all over the pace to me though. The first half of this book was moving so agonizingly slow for me. It could've been because I was at work and honestly didn't want to be there for 8 hours.. or it could've been that narrator was so meh. I couldn't concentrate long enough in the beginning that I definitely had to back track a couple of times.
Then the action got better. The zombies got crazier and deader (if that's a thing??). Phillip was probably the craziest character I've ever been introduced for. Pretty sure he raped like two girls in this entire book?? But don't quote me on that. Then there was Penny, who was his daughter. I absolutely loved Penny.. but what happened to her was completely predictable.
Now the one thing that I didn't predict was Brian. I didn't see him becoming the Governor. No, I saw Phillip slowly coming into that role. However, that wasn't the only thing that left me surprised. Nope, Penny was still being held captive. Yes, she is still a zombie which is weird and freaky to me. I get that everyone loved this little girl.. but damn, she's dead. She should be actually dead now. Not kept like a pet.
Overall, the pacing threw me for a loop. The action got better towards the end. So many unexpected deaths throughout the book too. I hope that the second book will be a lot better. Please have a faster pace!!
