The Passage by Justin Cronin

4.0

---

This book certainly is epic. The story sprawls across a grand sweep of time and a wide swath of the country. The characters are interesting and the plot is compelling. It's rather like a zombie book in some ways: just no zombies and a bit less gore. I didn't know it was the start of a series -- I might not have started it if I had known that -- but it doesn't beg for a follow up story as much as remain open for one.

Some sequences within the story were so vivid.
