Query: Almost but not Quite...

...believeable and not paced to avoid boredom. I really, really enjoy Connie's books and have bought and read all of them to date, but this one completely missed the mark for me. Yes, good starting premise. Okay, the characters are sharply and deeply drawn. But I felt the book could have been half the length and still accomplished as much: too much distracting avoidance by the protagonist of one or two jerk characters in many scenes drove me crazy and the characters do things that just don't make sense. And lastly, the ending did not at all work, I found it a total letdown on a literary level and also emotionally. I loved Doomsday and her more "scifi" books with time travel, I was enraptured by ..Christmas Stories but I just can't recommend Passage like her others.
