    :radioactive: Justin Cronin Spoilers!!!

    Figured I would start this thread, since there seems to be a lot of hype about it, including from Steve!

    I am on page 50 and it's got me already..had me on page 18. Can't wait to see where he takes it from here.

    I am hoping to have it finished by June 21 when I head to a reading/signing in Portsmouth NH!

    Has anyone else read it and have comments?

    Please remember to spoiler tag!!!

    I'm 330 pages in and loving every minute of it. He takes it in some dramatically unexpected directions. I have deliberately avoided every review and article about the book because I don't want anything to spoil my enjoyment of this extremely well written novel.

    I just started it and made it to about page 19. I'm really excited to see where he goes with it. I'm also excited to read a book that is compared to the Stand in epicness.

    maybe when I die
    I'll just grab it real quick

    So far I'm digging it. On page 72 and will continue to read more tonight.
    Does anyone here have a proof copy with the plain white wraps? I see the 1st edition & the arc with pictorial wraps both have 700 & some pages. The white proof has over 900 pages. Would type and book dimensions account for this much difference or was that much story taken out before the final product?

    If you haven't bought a copy yet, you should.

    I'm finding it hard to put it down. Just had to take a ibuprofen cause my neck, back, and shoulder are hurting from just sitting and reading.

    Has anyone read any of Cronin's other works? I also feel (I'm around page 105) that this book draws the reader in so naturally.

    I haven't read his previous books, but I understand they are somewhat different to this one. I finished it this afternoon.

    Spoiler:
    My biggest fear is that there would be a two-year cliffhanger, and in a way there was, but the book has enough of a satisfying resolution to certain storylines to make me happy...except for the two-year wait.

    i borrowed this from the bookstore where i work yesterday and i think i'm going to have to put Ray Bradbury down to read it. I haven't heard a single bad thing about it and I don't think I can wait for Bradbury to get interesting when this thing is sitting there staring at me.

    If you have finished it, you should do wikipedia a favor and make an article for it. Just what information you have about the plot will be helpful. I'm sure someone else can find the other information that is relevant to put up. If there still isn't one when I finish reading it (I doubt that), I will probably start one.

    This post is spoiler free

    I'm at page 150, and so far the book is good. Any story that is a planned trilogy is going to take its time to develop. We'll see how the rest of the story goes.

    Not sure what page I am on (the book is at home), I haven't been able to do much reading this week. I'll finish it this weekend though.
