The Passage by Justin Cronin


I have a very vivid imagination so I wasn't very happy reading how Mausami "had opened like a flower" while giving birth. Now that we got that out of the way can I just say OMFG this book is too long. Granted I've read longer books but OMG everytime I thought "THIS IS IT! This is the last page" there's still another chapter. This happened maybe 6 times I didn't know if I'd laugh or cry.

I try not to read reviews and anything about books except the blurb because I don't like expecting things so it came as a surprise that vampires brought us the apocalypse and not zombies. I mean, seriously, if zombies can't even run or climb and just groan like they do in most movies, how stupid can mankind be for our population to be wiped out just like that?

So yeah, I liked this book. Maybe I even loved it because I want to finish reading the others I have in line just so I could get to the second book. Why three stars then? I feel like this should've been two books not because it was too long but because when I got to the part where the virus already ruled the world I had to stop and get used to the shift in narration and character which actually happened a couple times. I instantly liked the first 30% whereas the rest of it had to grow on me and it took a while to do that. If you could get past that then good for you.
