sense.

there famouse façade.

remedies and natural healing for the body versus, more drs, and medications.

treats at grandmas…and what I love best about this book is the recipe for choc
cake on the very last page.
The Passage by Justin Cronin 912
This has got to be one of the strangest books I have ever
read….vampire…meets dystopian…meets I don’t even know what. This book seemed
forever long and it probably took me getting to 70% the way through to actually
be interested and care what was about to happen next. It is told in transitions
from different perspectives and was hard to follow and pick up at times but
that being said once I go to the last 200 pages I found myself just wanting to
know what would happen next.

Four outlanders of society witness a crime in the capitol and before long
they become entangled in a huige conspiracy? Mystery. I liked this book at
times there seemed to be a lot of characters and subplots to follow but then
ending was tied up neatly with a conclusion that left readers with the promised
of more books to come in this series.
