The Passage by Justin Cronin

5.0

---

I somehow, gratefully, missed the hype on this book. As a fan of the post-apocalypse genre this was a book I simply could not put down. Part medical thriller, part military conspiracy, part mysticism, and that was just the beginning.

The post-infection United States world was authentic and the characters leapt off the page with all their strengths and human foibles. From start to finish this reader had an incredibly satisfying experience that has kept me thinking and reflecting, and more than a little freaked out.

Thanks, Justin, for a wonderful August reading adventure.
