The Passage by Justin Cronin
3.0
Gah! This is the second book I've read this summer where the first half is amazing, you fall in love with the characters and don't want to put it down...and then bleeeeeeeh the author completely loses your interest. Also, just like the last book, this one is also freaking enormous, so it feels like a major defeat to stop reading halfway when halfway is page 350! I really feel tempted to skip, oh, 100 pages and see if that helps.
Otherwise, I second other reviews: it's like a better-written version of Stephen King's The Stand, and as I recall that book had a similar issue with losing steam. Still, Act I of The Passage would make an amazing movie.
