The Passage by Justin Cronin

5.0

---

I'd really like to give this book 4.5 stars. It was certainly above 4 stars and by far, the best book I've read this year. At a whopping 824 pages on the Nook, it HAS to be something amazing for someone to finish it. While it is touted as a "vampire" book, the vampires are secondary. I would be much more likely to call this an apocalypse book. Just when I felt like I knew where the story was going, it would change directions, again and again. I kept finding myself wanting to tell Jon about different genius parts of the book, always a sign of something good.

I think a lot of the low star reviews are from people expecting something like Twilight. This is good literature, not a love story.
