The Twelve by Justin Cronin

4.0

Not quite as "OMG, I can't put this down" absorbing as The Passage, but I think it's because a lot of the novelty with the first book doesn't exist here - we know many of these characters already, we know the basic situation. The Twelve is just as exciting as The Passage, though - a bit more action-packed with lots of new mythology swirling about. There's a lot going on here and Cronin is very skilled at keeping everything together - the plot moves along without pause and characters are beautifully interconnected in often surprising ways. A great read - thanks, Janet!
