The Road

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I was in love with the cadence of this book, but I couldn’t stay engaged. The post apocalyptic genre is not a favorite of mine, and this held true to that. Although McCarthy is clearly very talented at storytelling, the plot was just inconsistent and depressing for me.

In this story a Father and his young son walk through a deserted, burned out America. They don’t know what fate has in store for them. In parts, very moving McCarthy explores whether hope is eternal, or if it can be lost.
