Book 41 "The Road"




The Road

By

Cormac McCarthy


A story of a father and son trying to survive "the end of the world"

traveling to the coast for their only hope of survival amongst other survivors, killers, thieves, and the elements.


My Take


The most depressing book I have ever read. It won the 2007 Pulitzer prize, which makes it a noteworthy novel. However, after reading it there is absolutely NO NEED to rent the movie. Unless of course I choose to suffer a deep depression. Sad, Scary, Dark, all wrapped into one book. Good old McCarthy! I should have known. However, his writing style is out of this world!
