What an excellent book. An amazing author. An intriguing voice. Upon reading the last page, I wanted to start it all over again!
This book tells the sad tale of a man and his son who are trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic landscape. They begin their journey in the north and are traveling the road to the south. They face starvation, illness, harsh elements, and even cannibals. There's never a point where you suspect what might happen next, and imagining an ending to such a sad tale is nearly impossible.
While this is a hopeless story, it's an enchanting one that makes you think. McCarthy is truly a genius.
