mpetruce 's review for:

The Twelve by Justin Cronin
3.0
adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: N/A
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This one didn’t grab me as quickly as The Passage did but it’s a worthy successor and it does really get going. A little difficult (for me anyway) to keep track of who might be descended from who but I think that may be a function of listening to the audio, although there are a LOT of characters. A few character threads that you get a lot of ink on and then they just seem to be dropped but maybe they will be picked up in City of Mirrors (or I just spaced it, who knows). Looking forward to reading the third book.
