Il passaggio

I enjoyed this book, but I was never invested emotionally. It kinda reminded me of The Last of Us and the Fallout series so if you like those games, this will be a book for you. If course the other literary comparison is The Stand by Stephen King. I say I enjoyed it, which is true, but there were many times when I felt underwhelmed.I didn't like the shift that have fairly early on. But then I got used to what happened and I liked the slowness of the progression. Here's it kinda got a little too slow at the just over half way point.I didn't really like all the religious stuff either. Same as with The Stand, I didn't really like how God came into it and that it made it feel like there was some greater thing behind it all. I would have preferred that it was just a story about a human mistake and survival.And I never became that attached to any of the characters so I never felt sad or relieved or happy about any of them. I know this makes me sound like I didn't enjoy it much-i did. Cronin is a good writer, but I just felt there was a bit lacking. When I compare it to The Last of Us and The Stand. I loved those characters. I felt them, knew them, liked them. I just didn't care as much for these. 

This continues to be a perfect book.

I'm not crying at work, YOU'RE crying at work. This is my 7th (8th?) read of The Passage and I cannot overstate how devastatingly beautiful this story is. THIS is what dystopian fiction should be. If I could only read one series for the rest of my life, it would be this one. I will be buried with these books.
