A review by rachelb36
Passage by Connie Willis
4.0
In this science fiction mystery, the main character, Joanna, is a scientist studying near death experiences. A colleague has found a way to manufacture them, and so she "goes under" to experience them for herself.
Despite it being 780 pages, Willis kept me interested and wanting to find out what happened enough to finish the book. I often abandon fiction - even short works - so this is saying something.
The book undoubtedly has flaws: It is too long, contains some profanity, portrays Christians very negatively, and there is one instance of a character's sudden shift in personality that really annoyed me.
But overall, I really liked it!
