This: read this book and the ordinary world disappears -- Stephen King\u003cbr\u003eCronin's massive novel transcends its clichés and delivers a feverishly readable post-apocalyptic-cum-vampire chiller. It's not only a brilliantly told story, with thrilling plot twists and graphic action sequences, but a moving psychological portrait of survivors facing up to the poignant fact of a lost past and a horrifically uncertain future * GUARDIAN *\u003cbr\u003eEnthralling ... richly imagined. Above all, Amy is a superb creation, believably human yet beguilingly enigmatic * SUNDAY TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eIf you only take one book away with you this summer, make it The Passage. It's an absorbing, nightmarish dream of a book, a terrifying apocalyptic thriller, populated by believable, sympathetic characters. Once you start reading it, you won't want it to end * THE TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eEpic, apocalyptic, heart-wrenching, catastrophic, mesmerisizing... * DAILY MIRROR *\u003cbr\u003eAn exhilarating epic ... the breathtaking plot eventually circles back around, and the conclusion will leave you gasping. A modern classic in the making * SFX *\u003cbr\u003eDense stuff with intriguing characters, Cronin's story of a supernatural government experiment that gets out of hand is surprisingly gripping. Full of plot twists, action and vampires. It's a dark epic that matches the best of Stephen King * HEAT *\u003cbr\u003eAn epic thriller, the story hinges around Amy, a six-year-old girl used as a test case by the government for a covert mission involving a deadly virus. And yes, she manages to escape... We loved it * STYLIST *\u003cbr\u003eCronin is a skilled writer. Most of the characters are well drawn and he tackles the philosophical issue of gaining eternal life at the cost of your soul in between the throat-ripping battle scenes. I turned The Passage's pages feverishly to find out what happened next * OBSERVER *\u003cbr\u003eA gripping story and a richly drawn cast.

The Stand meets The Road * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY *\u003cbr\u003eCronin has given us what could be the best book of the summer. Don't wait to dive into The Passage * USA TODAY *\u003cbr\u003eJustin Cronin has written a wild, headlong, sweeping extravaganza of a novel. The Passage is the literary equivalent of a unicorn: a bona fide thriller that is sharply written, deeply humane, ablaze with big ideas, and absolutely impossible to put down -- Jennifer Egan, author of A Visit from the Goon Squad\u003cbr\u003eAddictive, terrifying, and deeply satisfying. Not only is this one of the year's best thrillers; it's one of the best of the past decade-maybe one of the best ever * MEN'S JOURNAL *\u003cbr\u003eIf you only take one book away with you this summer, make it THE PASSAGE. It's an absorbing, nightmarish dream of a book, a terrifying apocalyptic thriller, populated by believable, sympathetic characters. Once you start reading it, you won't want it to end. * THE TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eThe stuff of reading frenzies * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *\u003cbr\u003eCronin's massive novel transcends its clichés and delivers a feverishly readable post-apocalyptic-cum-vampire chiller. It's not only a brilliantly told story, with thrilling plot twists and graphic action sequences, but a moving psychological portrait of survivors facing up to the poignant fact of a lost past and a horrifically uncertain future. * GUARDIAN *\u003cbr\u003eA truly epic masterpiece that will have you hanging on for dear life -- Maxim Jakubowski * LOVEREADING.CO.UK *\u003cbr\u003eFor most of this enthralling novel, it's not difficult to discern why the publisher is so excited. Cronin writes with verve and versatility, and is just as good in action scenes as he is in handling more literary material. His reinvention of vampires niftily ditches Transylvanian clichés and his future world is richly imagined. Above all, Amy is a superb creation, believably human yet beguilingly enigmatic. * SUNDAY TIMES *\u003cbr\u003eThis epic tale is truly exhilarating stuff but what makes THE PASSAGE work so well is not its massive canvas, but the concentration on its human characters, notably six-year-old redhead Amy Harper Bellafonte. * DAILY EXPRESS *\u003cbr\u003eEpic, apocalyptic, heart-wrenching, catastrophic, mesmerisizing... * DAILY MIRROR *\u003cbr\u003eEvery so often a novel-reader's novel comes along: an enthralling, entertaining story wedded to simple, supple prose, both informed by tremendous imagination. Read 15 pages, and you will find yourself captivated; read 30 and you will find yourself taken prisoner and reading late into the night.
