P ~ The Passage

The Passage by Justin Cronin is a really great story.  It was recommended to me in the tiny, little library in Melrose, Florida.  That library had the most wonderful of things -- a rack of books you could take for free and keep.  You just had to bring books you were done with to trade for the books you took.

The librarian, who I can picture clearly in my mind but whose name I've forgotten in intervening years, saw that the books I brought and the books I took were almost all either Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror.  She loved The Passage and told me about it one day.  I'm so very glad she did.  It was wonderful and scary.

  1. Someone told me about this book a few months ago! Now, I think I should give it a try.

  2. I loved The Passage! I remember reading it, not realising it was the first part in a trilogy and was freaking out when I was getting to the end as I was sure everything wouldn't be wrapped up in time. I was of course right :P I still need to read the last book in the series, might have to reread books one and two as so much happens in them.

  4. That sounds like the most wonderful idea. I leave books sometimes at my office for people to take if they want to read.

    1. I am the same way. A book is meant to be passed on. I often take boxes of books to the local library. Even if they don't put them on the shelves, I know they'll hold a sale and someone will find a book they will love!

  5. Great review; I have not read this one. I started out reviewing, but I seem to have gotten more diverse. You have a really nice blog!

    1. Thank you for visiting! I have no other interests that make me want to blog, just books.

  6. Oh I love this book!! It's one of my absolute favourites! I didn't think either of the sequels (The Twelve or The City of Mirrors) were quite up to the same standard but I could read The Passage over and over!
