I'll be elaborating in my review , but here are some reasons:
The books shouldn't work as well as it does. Croning changes stiles and narrative approaches throughout, but what he maintains is that most important or elements - I didn't want to close the book during my lunch breaks, or at night.
The characters plight was believable, the sense of tension and terror were maintained equally throughout the majority of the novel. He made you want to root for the protagonists. Cronin also managed to hold some of his cards to his vest, he didn't reveal everything and in a less skilled writer, this would have been annoying rather than given me the drive to keep reading.
June 16th, 2010, 08:25 AM #32
I went to a reading/signing of The Passage at my local independent last night. Cronin is a graduate of the Iowa Writer's Workshop and always makes a point to do a reading at Prairie Lights for all of his books. He was pretty nice, personable guy and decent reader too.
The book itself though sounded a bit overly descriptive. Plus, I couldn't help but feel he was making it grimmer than it needed to be. I'm going to wait for the paperback on this one.

Just finished this book about a half hour ago. Book of the year for me so far. I loved it. I'm a huge fan of The Stand and i thought this was just as good. More original ideas about an end of the world scenario and you come to know the characters a lot more.
Spoiler:The whole idea of The Colony was great. I loved the imagery of the buses and trains taking the children to safety after the first outbreaks. The idea of the wall, the Watch and the lights was really cool. I also loved how the virals felt compelled to come home so their loved ones stood the mercy for seven nights. Very cool imagery and cool new ideas in this book. I also loved the idea of the twelve and how the virals they made were mentally attached to them. The reveal about Alicia and what she becomes is also really cool.
I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series. Highly recommended!

I wasn't around here back when Rothfuss' book came out, but in the 3 years I've either been lurking or been a member, this is by far the best reviewed book for a debut I've seen. This thread consists of two parts, the spectacular reviews of the book from everyone who's read it, and a lot of people thinking they are going to wait to read it.
I for one, am not going to wait long. I do a lot of long road trips and I've long needed an audiobook to get me through them, and I think this is going to be the one. I also had my doubts when I first heard of it, it seemed a bit too much I-Am-Legendy (yes I just used that as an adjective) for my tastes, and I've never been big on post-apocalyptic stuff, but a good book is a good book.
Before I jump 100% on the bandwagon before I've even read it, I would like to hear both sides. Any detractors?

It does slow down in the middle quite a bit: a few of the reviewers (including me, I think!) have said that, and for some it will be too slow. The second half does read like a different book.
For those waiting for the paperback: last time I looked (in the UK here at least) Waterstones and Amazon were offering it for half price at £10.
Don't think the paperback will be that different in price.

I don't really agree that the middle was "slow", there was not a ton of action but it contained some great world building and it fleshed out the characters. I'm glad he set up what happened with the virus and i loved the time spent at the Colony, it really helped you to realize how dead the world was.Spoiler:The way the brought up the kids in the sanctuary there was very unique, Ithought it showed the lengths people would go to to survive, Babcock's dreams were also cool.

June 21st, 2010, 02:35 PM #41I agree with you, its funny how this thread is full of great reviews and then posts from people saying they'll wait to read it.
That it has the teenage chosen one girl center -- neither incentive nor disadvantage.
That it has vampires -- neither incentive nor disadvantage.
That it may have sections from the virals' pov -- incentive.
That it uses western elements and has a train chase to Las Vegas -- not exactly a disadvantage, but not a big incentive either.
That it has a Terminator plot teamed with The Stand -- neither incentive nor disadvantage
And so on. Basically, when a person dislikes a book, they are quite gabby about it, but when they like a book, they tend to not be very detailed about why and you are left with basic information about the story itself. The information so far is fine, but has nothing to make me perk up my ears with great interest. (What perks up my ears is not the same as will attract many other readers, of course, as we are all subjectively different.)
So I'll wait. I'll learn more about the plot, maybe sample the writing, read some other things first. I'm just getting around to reading Acacia, for much the same reasons. It's not like the book is going anywhere.

Hi Kat. I guess i am always careful about posting story elements because i don't want to ruin the book for others. As for your points.Spoiler:The girl really isn't a "chosen one" like you'd think and definitely does not act cliche at all. Shes a very defined character and why she is where shes at and why she is what she is is fully explained and makes sense. She just happens to be the culmination of the experiment with the virus and is actually a secondary character in the book. The vampires are harder to describe. The run in pods of threes, usually either three or six to a pod but sometimes more if one of the original virals are around, you do see some of the book from the main virals perspective and it is really effective. The only way this has western elements is because they have horses and its set out west but it doesn't not have a "cowboy feel" is that is what you were worried about. The train part is also a small part of the book but it is a pretty cool scene. I think the cooler scene is when they are sending the children away from the cities on trains in the beginning. The car hitches are rigged with explosives so that is a car is invaded by virals they can blow the hitch and detatch the car. Problem is, all the cars behind it detach too. Really cool imagery. Its kind of like the movie "The Vikings" when the horns are blowing and they are sending the women and children away. He paints a great picture.

I guess I'm just wired differently Kat. If I see a good review from a reviewer who has similar tastes to me, (like a Werthead for example), and then see 4 to 5 other good reviews without really seeing any bad ones, I'm going to jump on that book, even if it's about two little puppies trying to find their way back to Candyland. I may make an exception if I think the book is going to be too dark, or contains things I really don't want to read about (The Steel Remains is a good example of this), but for the most part, a good book is a good book.
So tastes differ? Of course. I'm going to have a different Top 10 books then most people. But for the most part I rely on the fact that people who like SFF will enjoy pretty well the same basic things in their books. So if 15 people tell me it's a great book to only 1 or 2 that says it isn't, I'm going to trust it.
On the other hand, when I'm reviewing a book I try my best to say what was good and bad about it. Mostly because I have this pressing need to tell people what was good and bad about a book, but it can be useful to people reading those reviews.

Just finished it a little while ago. I read the last 300 pages in one single afternoon session. The Passage is the best book of its kind I've read since The Stand awed me so many years ago.
As a post-apocalypse aficionado, my favourite portion of the book was the first third, with a very effective depiction of the phased breakdown of civilisation and the survivors' way of life afterwards. I think a lot of post-apoc fans know and love this civilisation is collapsing... collapsing... collapsing.. is collapsed! stage best of all, and I'm no exception. The book had me there.
And it is not a vampire book. I'm now cringing every time I see the lazy blurb 'the vampire novel of the year!' etc.
I'm looking forward to Vol 2 (in 1 year? 2 years?), particularly given the way it ends. The book's main threads are tied up in a way I found satisfying (if a little rushed), and there's a good hand-off to the next instalment right at the end. I can't wait, but at the same time I know I can wait. I'm a Song of Ice and Fire fan. I know how to wait...

Colorful Wedding Ceremony Brochure
Vision of Love Gate-fold Programs We created a beautiful church program for our daughter's wedding. When we uploaded a photo for the program and had everything centered, it looked awesome on our computer. The next day we received an email from their support staff telling us that our alignment was off and the picture was grainy. They had us email them a few pictures. They fixed the alignment and chose a picture that worked best from the ones we sent. They also emailed me a finished product to view before making our order. They were wonderful!
Exceeded my expectations!!

Egypt's activists rise up against sexual assaults in Tahrir Square
Egyptian activists rise up against sexual assaults in Tahrir Square. A team building video for hotel employees shocks the Chinese web. And net users are smitten with Sam, the cat with eyebrows.
Egypt's activists rise up against sexual assaults in Tahrir Square
In Egypt, sexual assaults are on the rise during anti-government protests. This video diffused online shows an attempted rape, thought to have taken place last week in Tahrir Square in Cairo. A voice describes the images and recounts the assault from the point of view of the victim, in the grip of many hands all trying to undress her. The young woman is finally saved by other activists, recognisable by their work site helmets and white T-shirts, all determined to prevent this type of sexual assault.
Since November, several groups on social networks have been recruiting volunteers to monitor the movements of suspicious crowd members and to ensure the protection of women participating in protests in Cairo. These associations also offer self-defence classes for women.
Sexual harassment is however not a new problem in Egypt. Verbal insults, exhibitionism and molesting are all daily occurrences for Egyptian women. The phenomenon is displayed on this interactive map on which victims can express what they have experienced.
A scourge which seems nevertheless on the increase as hordes of men take advantage of the confusion during large-scale protests to perpetrate this type of assault. Assaults which, according to opponents, may be being orchestrated by the government to terrorise female protesters. But in this video, posted online by the newspaper, Al-Ahram, activist, Engy Ghozlan recalls that nothing will dissuade female Egyptians from taking to the streets to express their opinions.
Video showing team building exercise sparks outrage in China
This is one of the most shared videos on the Chinese web since its posting online on the sixteenth of January. It has been viewed over four million times on China's various share sites. The video shows employees at Hotel Arirang in Dandong, a city close to North Korea, participating frenetically in a team building session, with physical exercises worthy of a military boot camp. And although this type of group session is frequent in China, the images have nevertheless caused indignation from some local net users, who denounce in particular the degree of fanaticism from female participants.
For many Weibo users, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, this team building session is tantamount to brain washing. Net users also criticise a breach of human rights and assert, like here, that it is not necessary to take such extreme steps to instil a company culture in employees.
Others use sarcasm when discussing the affair, such as these micro bloggers who consider ironically that the women filmed in the controversial video should join the army rather than working in a hotel or they could be entrusted with recovering the Diaoyu Islands, an archipelago at the heart of a territorial conflict between China and Japan.
Faced with the scale of outrage, the owner of the hotel in which the scene took place has chosen to speak out. But instead of apologising to alleviate the scandal, the man has simply explained that the images should never have been made public and that overall he does not regret the debacle as it created free publicity for his establishment.
Dubai: panoramic view from the top of the world's tallest building
An incredible panoramic view of Dubai taken from the roof of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. This discovery is offered to net users thanks to this interactive map recently posted online. A map offering a unique and aerial vision of the city that rises from the dunes.
Photos of Sam, the cat with eyebrows, go viral
This little cat named Sam has been winning over net users hearts all over the world for the last few weeks. His particular feature are two black marks on his head which make the kitten look like he has large eyebrows making him seem permanently worried. A little fur ball with many fans on the net, who enjoy perusing the dozens of pictures published online by his owner on his Instagram page.
Video of the day
Daniel Klein and Mirra Fine are two cookery fans who recently spent three weeks in India. A unique trip which they decided to immortalise with this video called, 'a day in India', offering an insight into the country's culinary specialities. A video brimming with colours and flavours which is sure to make mouths water.

IOC decision doesn't deter South Berwick's Betterman
Sunday, March 24, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Deanna Rix Betterman was planning on retiring from wrestling after the 2016 Olympics. But that doesn't make the International Olympic Committee's recent decision to drop the sport (effective in 2020) any easier to handle.
Matt Rix, the longtime Marshwood coach and Deanna's father, said the IOC's decision hit close to home.
"You don't realize how much work it is," Betterman said. "I'm nursing as well, so I have to pump in the locker room, and some of the girls joke with me when I'm in there."
The Bettermans are now training for next month's U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas.

Maybe, just maybe, people don't want to wait. Wether you're waiting at a traffic light or in a que at the supermarket; waiting sucks.
I bet that I could tailor a Kernel + Initrd to my specific hardware and get a super fast boot too. Why is this news? MeeGo doesn't support the same vast quantities of hardware that Ubuntu or Fedora does, so it makes sense that some time would be lost on boot.
At any rate, as your 11.04 boot time article pointed out, boot times in Ubuntu have regressed greatly. Your same hardware booted 10.04 (which some of us are still running, including me) in 18 seconds, which is pretty much on par with MeeGo.
Maybe, just maybe, people don't want to wait. Wether you're waiting at a traffic light or in a que at the supermarket; waiting sucks.
Graphs like there would benefit immensely by being saved and published as .gif-files.
The gif-files are excellent for graphs with thin lines but terrible for photographs.
Likewise, jpg-files are good (not excellent) for photographs but terrible for graphs with thin lines.
gif is also better than png for thin line graphs.
Fedora 14 is not really an interesting test subject, Fedora 15 would be much more interesting with the new systemd. Also the netbook you're testing with is only a single core; wondering how much time you'd shave off by using a dual-core, if any. Even the cheapest netbooks come in dual-core variant nowadays, so there's not really a reason to buy a single-core machine nowadays.

The problem with any of these studies like this is that even if you did shut down everything to a zero power state the power sources still keep generating away despite that small load not being there. So unless a power source goes under strain where additional fuel is required to maintain the supply then there is no real increase in emissions as those emissions would be present as the source has to be in a ready state should awaiting a increased load. In reality you are more then likely wasting more energy with no extra increase in pollutants with a light load. A large power supply with a light load actually is very inefficient as once the resource is transformed to power it is not stored, it is used or lost.This wikipedia article explain the actual problem with stand-by power consumption:
"Standby power, also called vampire power, or phantom power, refers to the electricity consumed by many appliances when they are switched off or in standby mode. The typical power loss per appliance is low (from 1 to 25 W) but when multiplied by the billions of appliances in houses and in commercial buildings, standby losses represent a significant fraction of total world electricity use.[1] According to Dr Alan Meier, a staff scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, standby power accounts for as much as 10% of household power-consumption. A study in France found that standby power accounted for 7% of total residential consumption; while further studies have put the proportion of consumption due to standby power as high as 13%.[2]
The IEA estimates that standby produces 1% of the world's CO2 emissions.[3] To put the figure into context, total air travel contributes less than 3% to global CO2 emissions.[4]"
Of course power source generated by electric plant have to be consumed instantly or get loss, although you loss one important aspect of power generation: you have to keep in mind that power plants and future plans to construct new power plants adapts to user demands, if users demands decreases power plants can make plans to output less power and there is minor demand to construct future power plants. Stand-by power represents 7% - 13% of total power consumption, we are not talking about 0,5% or 1%, so this is relevant.

Joppa Hill farm, town seek chance at accord
The lease ends March 8, but the farm's board has been invited to participate in a third-party mediation in hopes that the two sides can resolve their issues, said Town Manager Jessie Levine.
Levine sent the EFJH board and its president, Michael Scanlon, a notice of default of the lease and agreement between the two parties on Tuesday.
According to the notice provided to the EFJH board, the town's position is that EFJH has violated its lease in four areas: the barn has not been maintained by the farm in accordance with the lease; the board has not pursued its repair "expeditiously and with diligence;" the barn poses safety risks that could impact the town's insurance rates; and the farm entered into a sublease agreements with individuals or organizations.
In letter accompanying the notice, Levine said that after two years of discussions and negotiations, EFJH has made no commitment to address safety concerns about its barn, and there was no choice but to terminate the lease.
"The barn poses a significant health and safety hazard to the public as well as to the employees, volunteers, and animals that have access to it, and the Town cannot allow this safety hazard to continue," the letter read.
Several attempts to resolve the issue have failed.
At a meeting on Jan. 14, Levine and three members of the town council were under the impression that the two parties had a verbal agreement, but the board unanimously refused to sign the documents brought forth from that meeting.
Levine said the use of a mediator may forge an agreement between the town and the farm.
"We're not going to do it as a re-run of the last two years," Levine said. "You go into mediation with an attitude that assumes there is some binding result in the end."
At the same time, Levine said even mediation won't stop the clock from ticking.
Scanlon could not be reached for comment.

Make Your Insurance Work for You
Take full advantage of your health insurance benefits with these helpful tips.
Get to Know How Your Health Plan Works
Each health plan is different. Be sure to know how your plan works so you get the most from your benefits.
- Stay in the network. Most health plans, like HMOs and PPOs, use certain groups of doctors, hospitals and other health care professionals called provider networks. If you visit a doctor outside of your network, you may have to pay more for your care. In some cases, you may have to pay the full cost. For HMOs, if you are referred to a specialist, make sure he or she is in your network.
- Use the ER for emergencies only. When your injury or illness is serious go to the nearest emergency room. You don't need a referral. If it's not an emergency, you may be able to save money by seeing your regular doctor for colds, minor sprains and other less serious conditions.
- Know what's covered. Make sure services or treatments are covered before you schedule them. If you have a PPO, you may need pre-authorization (pre-notification) from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) before you get certain tests or services. You or your doctor must call the pre-authorization (or pre-certification) number on the back of your member ID card to confirm.
- Conduct an "annual check-up" of your health plan. Make sure your plan still meets your needs. This is especially true if you've had a major life event like a birth, death, marriage or divorce.
Use Your Blue Access for Members Tools and Perks
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico members can access Blue Access for MembersSM, our secure member website, where you can:
- Manage your account online

- Order a new member ID card and print a temporary card

- Search and compare doctors, hospitals and dentists
Register or log in to Blue Access for Members.
Keep a Medical History
- A medical history can be anything related to your health. It can be as basic as a list of medications, illnesses and doctor's visits, or be much more detailed. Keeping track of your health history and your family's will help you to: Work with your doctor to keep healthy or diagnose a condition
- Avoid drugs that may be harmful due to allergies
- Make it easier and faster to fill out an application for individual insurance, file an insurance claim, an appeal on a claims decision, or dispute billing errors
- Make it easier to track expenses in Flexible Spending Accounts or Health Savings Accounts
What to Track in Your Medical History
At the very least, you should track:
- Illnesses and injuries, including dates, doctor's visits and symptoms
- Treatments and therapies you've had, and if they helped or not
- you've taken, including results and side effects
- Health screenings and results
- Current weight
- Allergies, including drug allergies
You may also want to track:
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol levels
- Changes in habits, weight, energy level or bodily functions
