LoveReading Says

It’s the end of the world, but not as we know it.  The rise of a zombie plague, and life in the aftermath, but a real cut above the usual hack-slash thrillers of the genre.  In fact I think it should have been three volumes.  It is enormous, but worth it.  A moving and involving story charting the fall of civilisation, then chronicling life in the new world a few generations later.  Really powerful stuff.

 

One of our Great Reads you may have missed in 2011.

May 2011 Mega Book of the Month.

 

Maxim Jakubowski's view...

A truly epic masterpiece that will have you hanging on for dear life for both its conclusion and the next volume.  It's a chilling end of the world as we know it saga, this first volume of a trilogy has all the impact of Stephen King’s THE STAND in breadth of vision and length. Following a failed military experiment, America falls to a zombie/vampire epidemic and only a curious little girl and a group of doughty survivors hold the key to survival.

 

'Read 15 pages, and you will find yourself captivated; read 30 and you will find yourself taken prisoner and reading late into the night. It had the vividness that only epic works of fantasy and imagination can achieve. What else can I say? This: read this book and the ordinary world disappears.'   Stephen King

 

Why I Wrote The Passage by Justin Cronin...

You write the book that asks to be written, and THE PASSAGE asked me to write it on a series
of long jogs in the fall of 2005, taken in the company of my daughter, Iris, age eight, who rode
beside me on her bicycle. Click here to read more...
