Liked It10 of 11 members found this review helpful “The Road by Cormac McCarthy is one of those books that once you finish it, you toss it down and say "Okay, gonna kill myself now!" It is also riveting, engaging, and beautifully written, so it's worth it. |
Didn’t Like It2 of 2 members found this review helpful “Not sure what to make of this one. I was quite engaged and read it quickly but did not get much out of it. A depressing tale (as so many good books can be) but without any real context, which I think is what put me off.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I read this book in almost one sitting, and if only I did not need to sleep I would have read it all at once. This was a spectacular read, with a poetic and unique style that conjured up emotions and goosebumps for me as I read.I loved the dynamic set forth by the author, and unlike some reviews I read that stated there was no story I beg to differ. There was a story that keep me turning the pages, and the relationship the book was about was remarkable and heart warming. I loved this and look forward to seeing how this is adapted to film.”

“This is a well done novel by one of my new favorite authors McCarthy. The text is is like all of the rest of his books, where it symbolizes the feel to the story and of course no quotations or anything of that matter. The story feels real and is a fast read, I highly reccomend picking this one up. ”

“Starkly written, McCarthy economically paints a picture of a father and son existing for and driven by their love for each other against a desolate landscape. Amazing, minimalist prose creates constant high tension as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world towards an uncertain fate.”
