The Road

By Cormac McCarthy...a Post Apocalyptic world...with one man and his son...trekking down THE ROAD to find...what? They encounter all manner of humans along the way...many have succumbed to the world and are no longer human...others are on the brink of starvation and death. What an incredibly depressing read...but I loved it. It was short (took me two days, less than 4 hours to read)...and made me think. Curious to read this book before seeing the movie...I am not sure I want to see the movie now. I am positive that the movie couldn't do the book justice. I felt hungry...alone...hopeless...thirsty...love...and fear. I recommend...but not for the weak in stomach!
