SOCWBC January Read - The Passage by Justin Cronin

Panera Bread (map)

Selected By: Rebecca Chan

Hi Ladies,

We'll be meeting at our usual place, Panera Bread on Rockfield Blvd. in Lake Forest between 6 and 6:30 p.m. The meeting will officially start at 7 p.m.  

Our book for January is "The Passage" by Justin Cronin.  Here is a link to the website for the book http://enterthepassage.com/

NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST NOVELS OF THE YEAR BY TIME MAGAZINE

An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy–abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl—and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape—but he can’t stop society’s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.

Panera reserves the whole side of the room for us, so please remember to order a beverage or food item while there, and let them know you are with the book club to receive 10 percent all food and beverage purchased!

Happy Reading! 

SOCWBC Organizer, Rebecca

    Personally, I REALLY liked the book. I felt like I was on a journey with 'them', but many weren't able to get into it, so we kept the convo short, probably not short enough for some, and discussed books we've been reading, so we could include everyone :)
