The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

As a Cronin fan since I read The Passage, and as someone who then read all of his other works, The Ferryman hits different. Without giving any spoilers, because I'm not a COMPLETE asshole, this book is not what it seems. It kept me reading. Each and every damn time I thought I figured out what was going on, I discovered I couldn't be further from the truth. Cronin is a master storyteller, and if I can say one (of the many) great thing about his writing, it is that it is in no way formulaic, it is always original, and every single book is a different animal in and of itself. I would personally NOT be SAD if this were to be translated to the big screen (but I might be sad if it is translated to television and flops like The Passage did - the casting was ALL wrong, IMO.) Five stars, for sure!
