I am very curious to read "The Passage" and one of the reasons I have to admit that is the hype around it. But that hype sets high expectations as well :)<br />I missed your review, but I'll head over to your lovely blog to read it now ;)<br /><br />Barbara, I don't read many reviews for the books on my reading list either, but "The Passage" was more of a mystery to me so Adam's review helped me found out more about it. And I totally agree, a slower pace is not always a bad thing and may reveal wonderful things :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-55252140841127117922010-05-28T08:19:11.531+03:002010-05-28T08:19:11.531+03:00Excellent review from the Wertzone, and thanks for...Excellent review from the Wertzone, and thanks for the trailer. Although I have this book on my ARC pile there are a couple of books that I have to review first. Before reading a new ARC I don't like to read too many reviews on a specific book as it tends to spoil the read. But The Passage I'm looking forward to.<br /><br />From Wertzone's review it appears this story carries multiple layers of information apart from the characters. A slower pace in certain areas of a book helps to set the scene for new information before the pace is quickened. This is one of the signs of a good author.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-16998627515967579532010-05-28T06:43:14.100+03:002010-05-28T06:43:14.100+03:00The Passage does not really live up to the hype - ...The Passage does not really live up to the hype - the first part comprising of 1/3 of the novel is indeed awesome, very, very dark but awesome. <br /><br />But the main part that takes 500 pages and is the stuff that will be continued in the rest of the series, is way too slow and bloated; there are great scenes scattered throughout and the ending is good at a natural stopping point, but way too many superfluous details and some pale main characters at least compared to the vivid ones of before...<br /><br />I am curious how people will feel about it since based on hype and publicity it should sell well at first, but then word of mouth will make or break it<br /><br />I reviewed it a while ago btwLiviuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405766065227026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-79285448620176810742010-05-27T23:25:45.544+03:002010-05-27T23:25:45.544+03:00Thank you for posting the trailer.
