The Road - by Cormac McCarthy
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food -- and each other.
My thoughts:
I loved this book!
It was very well written, the descriptions were great; but what I really liked about this book, what made it so much better than other books is what it does not tell us.
There are so many unanswered questions throughout this book and mostly when you are done, it really makes you think.
My rating: 5 out of 5
