The Walking Dead Vol 9: Here We Remain by Robert Kirkman

4714126

I don’t know what to say about this book. I liked it, but it was more of an in between story and the next chapter to me. Each book so far has continued the story very well, but this one allowed the characters and the reader to take a breath. In the last book all hell broke loose and the group has been split up and running from the prison that they were safely living in. Most of this story focuses around Rick and Carl. They are struggling with horrible loss and the fact that they are alone and Rick is injured.
The show took a lot of scenes straight from these pages, but the course of events took several episodes. I kind of liked the episodes more than this. The show took us through the events of many different characters as they searched for each other and a safe place to crash. It was fun to see things tie together in the show so I was kind of disappointed that there wasn’t more of that in this book.
The story moved pretty quickly even with little action happening. This was also another issue that didn’t need much dialogue to keep the story interesting. The dialogue that is in there was impressive at times. Carl had some of the best parts in this and I liked seeing him grow up a little more.
This wasn’t my favorite of the series mainly because I liked how this was done in the show better. I was kind of looking forward to this book even though it is a little slower to see how Kirkman originally wrote it. This is one I wish I would have read before I saw the show, oh well, nothing I can do about it now. I’m on now to book 10. It wasn’t all bad but not my favorite, I give this 3 out of 5 stars.

Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me.

If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri

I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further.
