Much of the first quarter of the book is dedicated to tangential back-history for The Passage. While moderately interesting, it became predictable and redundant. I couldn't stay with it and only finished about a third of the book. It is like reading Murphy's Law meets vampires. If people are in need of something working at a given moment, guaranteed it won't--over and again. It revels in the killing of innocent people. It tells and retells how people's lives were shattered by losing somebody they loved, either to a vampire or to stupidity. I love post-apocalyptic but this doesn't measure up.
