It is hard to wait so long between books, especially when there are so many characters and storylines. I love finding a new-to-me series that is already complete. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-60987156566343002682016-05-03T07:12:12.309-05:002016-05-03T07:12:12.309-05:00I've the first book but haven't got around...I've the first book but haven't got around to reading it.

What I really wish is that Cronin had written The Passage as a stand-alone.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-44427863581895333242016-05-03T06:53:49.382-05:002016-05-03T06:53:49.382-05:00I wonder how much Cronin had in mind for this tril...I wonder how much Cronin had in mind for this trilogy when he wrote The Passage...and how much just kind of developed as he went. I wanted find out what happened to all of the initial characters, but didn't enjoy the last two books nearly as much as the first one. :\jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-40028786378171211222016-05-03T06:51:23.905-05:002016-05-03T06:51:23.905-05:00The Passage remains my favorite.

I would like to read The Passage but I guess I need to be prepared for a chunkster!

However, The Passage is an awesome read and I recommend it highly to most readers. I have this book and will probably read it very soon, but will take your advice and review the second one, and maybe the first... again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-91986710614400227742016-05-02T17:08:44.692-05:002016-05-02T17:08:44.692-05:00I read The Passage when it came out, and really li...I read The Passage when it came out, and really liked it, but could never make myself start The Twelve. I'm not sure why; so I probably won't be reading this one either, but I'm glad the trilogy ended in a way that was okay for you.
