Our view
“The Passage” begins as a tense blend of thriller and horror, then opens out into a sprawling story of survival at the end of the world. That ambition is its main attraction. A large jump in time partway through splits readers: some follow gladly, surprised by where the story goes, and others never forgive the break; some also find the characters flat. At over nine hundred pages, it suits lovers of long, dark epics.

About the book
The Passage is a novel series by Justin Cronin. There are three published books in the series. The film rights were acquired by Fox Entertainment Group in 2007 for adaptation into a film trilogy, but after 12 years of development and planning, it was changed to a television series, which premiered in January 2019 and was canceled after the first season.
