The Passage by Justin Cronin
4.0

Geez that was long. 5 stars for the first half of the book. 3 for the last half. Stayed up late voraciously reading this massive book then lost interest as it slogged on and became a very different book than it started.

So much of the story hinges on the mysterious ‘Amy’ who really was not a likable character. She had very little actual substance and spent most of the book staring off into space…and somehow is a mother figure to mass armies of ‘Virals’….i just don’t get it. The story had so much potential, but lost me in the end.

I love the end of the world, apocalyptic nuclear vibes of the first part of this story, and I would have loved more of that!
