I was about to walk out with another random book when the really cool librarian just randomly suggested The Passage. She went on to describe it, but realistically any suggestion was a good one to me. Plus she’s a librarian, so she’s a pro and I’d trust any suggestion.
I was very glad to find out that the all powerful librarian was indeed correct, I really enjoyed this book.
While there’s been a lot of post apocalyptic, vampire or zombie material out recently, I thoroughly enjoyed this take on it.
The early government stuff that leads to the whole epidemic was pretty cool. Then the transition to about 100 years later and how much the world has changed as a result made for some fine reading.
Very good stuff and eager to read the sequel, The Twelve.
