Haven't checked out the interview yet but the book was pretty good. If I had to find one flaw with it, it was that it dragged on a little bit at the end. But I've recommended it to 2 family members and they've both enjoyed it. Also, a friend of mine read it independently and recommended it to me, little did she know I'd already read it.

I really enjoyed The Passage from beginning to end.

Any character who had 3 or 4 pages devoted to their back story was going to die. It made me stop caring. Why read the next 10 pages developing a character that was going to die 10 pages later? After the 2nd or 3rd time this happened I got bored with the book and stopped reading.
