The Passage- Video Book Review

I don’t read much fiction any more, and frankly, it’s weird to explain when or why a fiction book slips into my sights. But I caught a glimpse of Justin Cronin’s The Passage (amazon affiliate link), and knew I wanted to read it. I’m very glad I did, and I can recommend it, should you be in the mood for a late summer page turner.

The Passage is probably easiest described as The Stand meets 28 Days Later meets Daybreakers (that vampire flick with Ethan Hawke that very few people saw). It starts off rather fast-paced and rushes right into the premise. I shot a quick video review of my take on The Passage. Because I’d read it on my Kindle reader, I didn’t have a book to wave in your face. Forgive me.

You’d think that if it took them only 30 or so pages to get to the meat of what’s going to happen, and if the book is over 700 pages long, that something’s going to drag.

Not for me. I missed sleep over this book. I kept finding myself up at 2AM, reading rapidly to get to the next part, and I would then realize I had to pee, at night, in the dark, after having devoured many pages of a book where bad things happen in the dark. That’s how good it was.
