Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon

5.0

---

I feel like whatever I type will not be an adequate way to describe how much I loved this book and story. This book is full of all range of emotions from sorrow, dread, betrayal, happiness, etc.... I liked "The Stand" but did not love it because I read it in HS and I couldn't fully appreciate the themes and everything going on. I hate to compare this book to "The Stand", because while they are similar, they are not the same. I loved the characters of Swan and Josh. Two of my favorites protagonists ever....... That is a bold statement, because I rarely read a book that I feel this strong of a connection to. I am not sure what it was, but Sister Creep, and even the Man with the Scarlet eye were so well written that I actually cared about what was happening to them and because of them. I did not love Roland or Colonel Macklin, but they were well written as well.

I am not sure what I can read following this, because this one will stick with me for a long time. I wish I would have known about it sooner in life. If you liked "The Passage" or "The Stand", you should check out Swan Song. It is a beast, but a beautiful one that will stick with me for a long time.
