Washington Post Review: The Passage

Here is a pretty good review of The Passage. Has anyone read this yet? Ron Charles at the Washington Post sure liked it! For King fans, this one paragraph is almost irresistible:
.
Imagine Michael Crichton crossbreeding Stephen King's "The Stand" and "Salem's Lot" in that lab at Jurassic Park, with rich infusions of Robert McCammon's "Swan Song," "Battlestar Galactica" and even Cormac McCarthy's "The Road."
.
Of course, the problem is that I can't imagine that at all! The Stand and Salem's lot? With swan Song? I guess you have to see it -- or read it -- for yourself.
