150 pages into this at the moment:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Passage-Justin-Cronin/dp/0752897845/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279987555&sr=8-1

I tend to stick to non-fiction mostly these days but the hype surrounding this tempted me so I got it from the library.

The words 'unputdownable' and phrases like 'keep you up to the early hours' are over used in reviewing books of this type but in this case they are warranted.

A superbly written thriller with strong, believable characters and a relentless plot.

Recommended.
