Hard to compare to The Passage but a heck of a good ride. Cronin is smart as well as wise and he provides a lot of wonderful dialogue reflecting this wisdom.<br /><br />Mariz<br /><a href="http://www.alaskabrownbearhunts.net/index.htm" rel="nofollow">Get Best Info for Alaskan Brown Bear Hunts brooks range</a>Penelope Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732383763497653346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-21199153732968952002016-06-17T21:50:29.427-06:002016-06-17T21:50:29.427-06:00Another great read!

I'm looking forward to the conclusion in book three and some insight into what happened to the rest of the world. As if yet, we have no idea how the rest of the world faired after the outbreak.Look at Ford Injectorshttp://www.blackclouddiesel.com/injectors/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-20421365610357528982013-06-30T02:15:28.071-06:002013-06-30T02:15:28.071-06:00Now I feel I should go and get a copy of The Passa...Now I feel I should go and get a copy of The Passage, previously I wasn't too bothered about it, but you had me when you spoke of how it had affected you. It sounds a lot better than I thought it was, the set-up at least (because I've not read much about The Twelve yet).SEO in Kenthttp://www.premiumseocompany.com/WA/kent-wa-seo-company.aspnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-13442331510861708922012-10-24T07:40:22.453-06:002012-10-24T07:40:22.453-06:00Vickie -- you should definitely treat yourself to ...Vickie -- you should definitely treat yourself to THE TWELVE on audio as soon as possible!<br /><br />Bob -- the break between PASSAGE and TWELVE was agony!

Part of me wished I had reread/relistened to The Passage before starting The Twelve. It took me a bit to reacquaint myself with some of the characters.

My sister, who typically doesn't 'do' vampire books, raved about it and wanted to know how she could get the book to me to read as quickly as possible. I said audio worked best. A few days later a package arrived from Amazon with THE PASSAGE as a BOCD inside. I listened to it as fast as I could. I will likely get THE TWELVE in the same way as I spend more time with a book in my car than I do any other time. <br />Thank you for giving it such an enthusiastic review.IYamVixen2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00345008951875281634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-78371500640289850552012-10-23T11:47:34.483-06:002012-10-23T11:47:34.483-06:00I have seen some differing opinions on both THE PA...I have seen some differing opinions on both THE PASSAGE and THE TWELVE. For me, both books moved along at a very quick pace. I have seen others, however, who said they felt the middle of THE TWELVE flagged a bit. I'd be interested to see how you feel about it and if you find THE TWELVE to be better than THE PASSAGE. <br /><br />Becky LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030931605009567165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864122091184089707.post-32514142781880358142012-10-23T11:25:51.755-06:002012-10-23T11:25:51.755-06:00I'm so interested to read your review here, as...I'm so interested to read your review here, as The Passage was about half-snoozefest, half-thill read for me. I've been sitting on my copy of The Twelve for weeks now, undecided whether to take the plunge or not. I think maybe the answer now is yes, especially if the writing is better than the previous book, which I found gallingly uneven.<br />As the Crowe Flies and Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110661562901480120noreply@blogger.com
