A review by shermanberry
The Passage by Justin Cronin
4.0
I loved this book. I would really like to give it 4.5 stars. It’s not quite a 5.
It is often compared to The Stand (definitely in my all time Top 10). There are lots of similarities but for me it falls just short.
The characters are all believable and superbly written. There is a lot of mystery and suspense woven into the excellent story. There are periods in the plot where I felt tense, amused, intrigued, amazed and emotional. All ingredients for a tremendous read.
If I had one slight criticism it would be the length. I’m not averse to reading doorstop novels if the story moves along. There was a chunk of this book in the middle where I was waiting for things to get going.
Ultimately brilliant and I will most certainly put the second and third books on my ‘Want to Read’ list.
