6/28/2023 0 Comments The passage by justin cronin![]() ![]() ![]() I was surprised by that, considering the format of the book. It’s an exciting science fiction/horror thriller and like all good books in those genres, gets you emotionally invested in the characters. The Passage reads like a movie – action-packed and full of twists. Cronin’s vampires are very much like Richard Matheson’s vampires in I Am Legend – savage, blood sucking zombies. Seriously, these vampires are far from Meyer’s vamps, or even Anne Rice’s seductive creatures of the night. ![]() ![]() Vampirism is a virus, and heads up, Twilight fans – these vampires don’t just sparkle they glow like radioactive glow sticks. My one sentence (and completely inadequate) summary of the 800 pages: a military experiment goes wrong and humans must now survive in a world populated by vampires. My point: Justin Cronin’s The Passage is just very, very difficult to put down. I once attempted to read this 800 page hardcover with one hand, simply because the subway was too jerky for me to keep my balance without holding on to something. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been lugging around an 800 page hardcover wherever I went, sneaking pages on the subway, in the food court, and practically everywhere else I could find the time. ![]()
