Amy Harper Bellafonte is six years old, and her mother thinks she's the most important person in the whole world. She is.... Anthony Carter doesn't think he could ever be in a worse place than Death Row.... He's wrong. FBI agent Brad Wolgast thinks something beyond imagination is coming.... It is. The Passage.
Deep in the jungles of eastern Colombia, Professor Jonas Lear has finally found what he's been searching for - and wishes to God he hadn't. In Memphis, Tennessee, a six-year-old girl called Amy is left at the convent of the Sisters of Mercy and wonders why her mother has abandoned her.
In a maximum security jail in Nevada, a convicted murderer called Giles Babcock has the same strange nightmare, over and over again, while he waits for a lethal injection. In a remote community in the California mountains, a young man called Peter waits for his beloved brother to return home - so he can kill him. Bound together in ways they cannot comprehend, for each of them a door is about to open into a future they could not have imagined.
And a journey is about to begin. An epic journey that will take them through a world transformed by man's darkest dreams, to the very heart of what it means to be human. And beyond. The Passage.

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.
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.
