Waiting on Wednesday: The Passage by Justin Cronin

ThePassageBookCoverThis is my first ever Waiting on Wednesday post.  I HAD to post about this book because I’m literally counting down the days until it’s published.

The book is The Passage by Justin Cronin.  I’ve heard about it via many outlets, including Twitter.  However, when my favorite author, Stephen King, recommended it, I was truly sold.  Following is King’s statement about the book:

“Every so often a novel-reader’s novel comes along: an enthralling, entertaining story wedded to simple, supple prose, both informed by tremendous imagination. Summer is the perfect time for such books, and this year readers can enjoy the gift of Justin Cronin’s The Passage. Read fifteen pages and you will find yourself captivated; read thirty and you will find yourself taken prisoner and reading late into the night. It has the vividness that only epic works of fantasy and imagination can achieve. What else can I say? This: read this book and the ordinary world disappears.”—Stephen King

How can I resist? Unfortunately, I have a lot of waiting to do. The Passage isn’t published until June of 2010.
