Read | The Passage by Justin Cronin

It took a while to finish The Passage by Justin Cronin, mostly because of work taking up most of my time but also partly because of its length. It's a sprawling piece of fiction, of a world before and after monsters of their own making lead to the near extinction of humans. And while it could have focused on the adventure and horror elements, it's a book elevated by the stories of various characters… different in their experiences, intentions and actions, but mostly alike in their quest to survive. There are scenes of spectacular violence and gore, and stories of betrayal both influenced and intentional, but they are also tempered by moments of brief peace and hope, sometimes tenuous and sometimes shining bright. It's a terrifying world, but the one depicted in The Passage is one I would gladly explore more of in the rest of its trilogy. #pepslikesto #pepslikestoread #pepsreads #thepassage #justincronin #thepassagetrilogy #books #ebooks #fiction #horrorfiction #postapocalyptic #igreads #igreadsph #ebooksph #kindle
