Book #1 The Passage by Justin Cronin
Magnificent and mystifying; dreadful and hopeful. A science experiment failed thirteen times before it succeeded and left the world to deal with the results...yet somehow, it all comes down to one. One person--one little girl--and a handful of people who can somehow reverse the evil that man has done...is it possible?
I doubt it but I have two more chances to find out.
The ending seemed a little even rushed even though it dragged on a bit too long, wrapping up loose ends and foreshadowing the future. But it was necessary--after so many disasters, dashed hopes and deaths, he had to present some sort of path to the future or you'd never want to read the sequel. Or the sequel's sequel, because, yes--this is planned to be a trilogy. I'm not in a hurry to read the next one right now--I need a break--but I'm sure I will be ready to continue long before the third book is published.
What else to say? If you're an addict of suspense, you'll find your fix here. If you're a literary type who craves the well-turned phrase? Got it. A sucker for unique characters? Full of 'em. Fond of dead people who....
Oops. That would be telling.
