The Passage by Justin Cronin A Review

I recently read the book The Passage by Justin Cronin. I can sum this book up in one word, Uhg. What a colossal waste of my time. I read it on the suggestion of a guy that works at Chapter's. I don't blame him, but I don't think I'll take anymore suggestions from him either. The book started off promising, but then it took a really weird turn. Then it took another turn, and another, and another. I think the author was trying to create suspense, but all it did was make me wonder if this book was ever going to end. It finally did end, and abruptly too. There was no explanation, no follow up, it just ended. I was really disappointed. 766 pages of pure torture for the most part.

I prefer to read happy things, I admit, but I have no problem reading "difficult" reads, things that are in depth and take some thinking. But the only thing I could think when I read this book, is how painful it was. I do not recommend it, I will not read anything else by thing author ever again! I finished it only because that's what I do, I gave it hope that it would at least have a great ending. It didn't. I don't even have any new knowledge from this book at it is all sci-fi-ish. I had to read a quick trash book, just to clear my mind!
