The Passage by Justin Cronin
3.0
I admit this novel has a lot of faults. Cronin falls over himself through the plot picking up new strands in the last quarter of the novel. Ahhh so it's meant to be a trilogy. Too many characters doing too many things and not all explained. Ahhhh its meant to be a trilogy.
But I couldn't put the thing down, and it is a heavy book. The first 200 or so pages are magic. The distruction of world into the next will have you leaning forward so much that you will fall off your chair. I was even dreaming about it, not many novels stay with me.
Some of Cronin's imgaery is fantastic, an abadoned Las Vegas torn and broken. The 'virals' themselves. Charactersations did need work, they tend to bleed into one another.
But this novel is still worth reading, merely because of the massive scope of the thing, it is truely epic. You are completely emersed in this world which though fantasic completely believable.
But he better explain himself in part two!!!!
