The Passage
by Justin Cronin
I was hesitant to start this behemoth of a book (766 pages), thinking it would drag on, but I quickly learned that this would not be a problem here. Though there is much detail and different character perspectives, Cronin walked the line well between too little and too much. Not too rosy, not too dark. I was quickly engrossed and can't wait for the next book!
Couple of bits:
"Corpses gathering outside the farmhouse, moaning and tripping over their feet, wearing the tattered uniforms of their forgotten lives: he'd loved such films when he was a boy, not understanding how true they really were. What were the living dead...but a metaphor for the misbegotten march of middle age?"
"Grief was a place...where a person went alone. It was like a room without doors, and what happened in that room, all the anger and the pain you felt, was meant to stay there, nobody's business but yours."
