      Ian -

      I also bought the book,and will be watching to see what yo think of it . It didn't sound like the normal type book I read ,but I'm always a sucker for a book if it says it has won any type award, bestseller list, etc .

      I picked this up knowing nothing about it. If I'd have known there were vampires involved I probably wouldn't have bothered. Oh no not another vampire book! But this is great - reminds me of The Stand by Stephen King. 300 pages in and going great guns now!

      I read The Passage a year ago, and while details have faded, and I'll need a reread before the sequel comes out next year, I can safely say I throughly enjoyed it! And, I'm not a fan, usually, of vampire novels.

  3. 2nd October, reading outside in T-shirt and shorts at 6pm and had to come in cos it went dark, not cold! Loving this weather!

      Great, isn't it. It's going to be a shock on Thursday here when it apparently goes from highs of 24 to 'highs' of 13!

      I'm with Raven on this one; obviously a disappointment but look at the positives.

      You're quite right, of course. If someone had said at the start 4 out of 5 wins, I'd have bitten their hand off!
