A review by ellabatcheler
The Passage by Justin Cronin

5.0

I read this book because I accidentally bought the third book in the series first - The City of Mirrors - without realising it was part of a series. At first I didn’t want to take an interest in it because I had just finished a 12 book series and decided I wanted to read some one-shot, stand alone books. But I am so glad I decided to go ahead and read this book anyway. It has become one of my favourite books of all time. All the characters are amazingly detailed, the various perspectives each incredibly interesting and without confusion. Although it is about 800 pages long I managed to finished it in less the week as each new chapter kept me on my toes. I would recommend this book to anyone and I am so glad it is now being made into a TV show - but even if the show is not as good, it won’t spoil my view of this outstanding book.
