cbr10bingo… Home something home So as my title suggests, this book was INSANELY long. And I’ve read IT by Stephen King!!! Ok I just checked, It was twice as long as this book. Why did it feel like the other way around??? I think Mr. Cronin went to the Stephen King school of TELL ME EVERY FREAKING DETAIL ABOUT EVERY FREAKING THING, and then took it fifty five steps further. Even though it doesn’t sound like it, I did like the book. I just absolutely […]
The title leads you to believe it’s about the virals, but it’s really about the humans
Ok so this is the second book of the Passage trilogy. I thought I just made the name of the trilogy up, but then I looked at the title on Amazon (which I copied and pasted into here), and it’s totally called that. Yay me!

The goal of most of the main characters in this book is to […]
Way more involved than I originally anticipated, but still good!
I’m not entirely sure where to start this review. I guess I’ll start at the beginning, and how I got into reading this book.

Two books to wrap up my CBR9
So my CBR9 didn’t go quite as planned. I took on a lot of extra work for my job, which cut down on my reading, and was sick for a pretty large chunk of the year, so I’m not going to really come close to the double cannonball I had planned. Still, what amounts to basically a one-and-a-half cannonball is nothing to sneeze at. The Passage by Justin Cronin (4 stars) I’m having trouble wrapping my head around the apparent fact that “only” 10 reviews […]
