The US army has a wonderful plan to solve problems like ageing (and gaining control over the World). Use extracts of the thymus of vampires to give their (the American) soldiers a very long life. This sounds like a plan that cannot possibly go wrong, right? Of course it does go wrong. The serum is...

Okay, I needed one or two days to think about how to rate that book. I really liked it. That I can say. But I really thought about if I even loved it so much that it would get it's full five stars.This book was the hype book of 2010 (?) or so. The Army wants to create the uber-soldier. Experiments o...

I almost gave this the full five stars. I try to be stingy about these things, and this didn't make me laugh-out-loud or cry or rethink an issue, or make me want to pause to savor the prose. But in its own way, it is amazing. You know a writer is a master plotter when these little things that puzzle...

Best book I've read in a long time. Read it if you enjoy unpretentious fiction, read it if you enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction. Just read it already damn you! (2010-25)

I'm finally done with this book. It was too long and kinda boring. There were some interesting parts, but overall, I didn't enjoy it. I'm not sure if I'm gonna read the next parts. I don't really care about character in it.

There's 300 great pages in this book - 100 at the beginning, 100 in the middle, and 100 right at the end. For most novels that would be perfect. For the 776 page The Passage, however, it leaves much to slog through.Don't get me wrong, they're 300 really good pages. The world Cronin sets up is con...

I was really hoping to like this book more than I did. For me, it started off strong and I was instantly hooked, wanting to know more about the characters and what was happening. After about 30% through it abruptly stopped and introduced a second part to the story, and this was when it started to dr...
