Teaser Tuesday: The Passage by Justin Cronin

I ended up inadvertently having a couple of blogging free days over the weekend. Suddenly had a lack of inspiration, but I already have ideas for my weekend posts so maybe I just need a mini break or something. Of course, the lack of blogging time could be directly related to the fact that I wasn't home much.

Last week I shared the opening lines of The Passage by Justin Cronin for the Book Beginnings on Friday meme. I did get to read for awhile, but I am still reading it, so I thought that I would share more from the book for Teaser Tuesday. So far, I am enjoying this book a lot. One of the things that I am finding though is that as soon as I think I have figured out what is going on, then something changes. That's not a bad thing, just an observation.

My teaser comes from page 246:

When daybreak found him he would be no more. Amy, he thought as the stars began to fall, everywhere and all around; and he tried to fill his mind with just her name, his daughter's name, to help him from his life.

Amy, Amy, Amy.

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. Head on over to find out all about it, and how to join in!

    Good teaser, of course it does feature my name so how could it not be. :-)

    I'm looking forward to what you think of it in the end. I was game to read it than it went on my I don't know/maybe list. Still not sure what to do with it.

    I have The Passage beckoning me from my bookshelf. It is a colossal read... let me know how you fare. Heard amazing things guess I'm just waiting for the rave furor to die down before I jump in. Heck I still have to read THE HUNGER GAME!
