Review: The Walking Dead: The Descent – Portal PPE.PL (Registration) (Blog)

This question will answer the new part of book universe of The Walking Dead. “Descent” because the subtitle of the fifth book (in the original version is the fourth part), which came under the hand of Jay Bonansinga under the supervision of Robert Kirkman.

The book itself can be divided into two parts. The action begins with the first day after the events of the second part of the Fall of the Governor. Woodbury arrives family Dupree (which includes Calvin Mederith and their three children, Tommy, Bethany Lucas), they search for asylum, to hide from the walking dead and the rest from the constant struggle for life.

The governments of the the death of the Governor, took Lilly Caul, which tries to keep the city from its inhabitants alive. Do new members of Woodbury will be using, and perhaps contrary and will be a nuisance for the city? Part of both, but I will not tell you exactly that. But I can say that Lilly will be at the start difficult task. The city suffers from a lack of new supplies and weapons after the battle Philip Blake with Rick, Michonne and other inhabitants of the prison. Therefore, two residents of the city – Speed ​​and Matthew are sent to find food, weapons, fuel, etc. During the search will find two “things”. On one certainly would welcome Bob Marley himself, but the other is not cheerful news. Woodbury coming unexpectedly large horde of zombies that collects in areas of the Governorate attack on the prison. What do Lilly and her friends? They will fight and can hide in the tunnels, which found Bob – drunken medic from previous parts. And here I bow to the second part of the book.

Our heroes goes to help other survivors in a zombie apocalypse. With the underground tunnels, they manage to save preacher Jeremiah and his followers of the church called. Pentecostal Servants of God. The pastor seems to be perfect and przesympatyczna person, but not everyone will fall for tastes. Is it wrong impression, and maybe not. You will find out already in the book.

More or less, presented the outline feature. No, but it has everything to previous parts. In my series he regained some of its mystery as such, that no one knows what will happen next. Can Form A will survive and can stand B. Which in my opinion lost in the second part of the Fall of the Governor. You should not share the books that are in the original whole, and so unfortunately did release SQN with the end of life one of the best antagonists in the literature. The second advantage is that as I read the first two volumes of a book universe (Birth Governor and the Road to Woodbury), I felt like one of the hero who must fight for his life. In this section regained the feeling, but not so as already mentioned titles. But I think Mr. J. Bonasinga not reduce the already more my empathy in the atmosphere. I praise him for that Lilly’s one of the better written form. It has its difficult days, problems, but knows how to fight for his life and not give up. How you have to cuddle, and how you need, then pushed ….

Bob turn becomes the older version of Daryl from the show and it might be appealing, but a very good complement to Bob, Ben, Speed ​​and Matthew. Ideally, these four people themselves were composed. Especially when the action moves to the tunnels. It is a pity that Jay has not used more shares in the basement, because the potential is made by Dmitry Glukhovskiego Metro. For a total misconception is Calvin and the main antagonist (which I do not want to give away). Mr. Dupree is for me a typical ciotowatą character and the main evil, such Governor might boots cleaned, and his daughter Penny brush your teeth Proktohemolanem.

Overall, The Walking Dead: Descent is a good continuation of the comic book and TV series, which I can recommend any fan of Szwendaczy, but it seems to me that before the approach of this book is better to be familiar with previous ones. Without knowledge of them may arise questions like:

  • Who is the Governor
  •  

  • why Lilly is ruled in Woodbury
  •  

  • where it came from so great a horde of zombies
  •  

Perhaps it does spoil the reception of the book. [Luke "Senix" Kant]
