A review by mjcourchesne
The Passage by Justin Cronin
3.0
It took a while for me to get into this book. Somewhat daunting at around 800 pages, and with unfortunate comparisons to Stephen King's "The Stand," I spent the first 1/2 of the book with the thought that I didn't really like it, but determined to get through it with an English-major-assigned-book resolve.
I'm still not terribly fond of the characters, but did find myself devouring (pardon the pun) chapters more quickly and with less consternation as I continued. I am left with some small eagerness for the next, but essentially closed the book for the last time with an appreciation for what it delivered: a fun read.
One for the vacation pile, I think!
