Definitive. Courageous. Emotionally draining. First classic of the 21st Century

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R348K16VGAO7D4 A searing tale of a possible future for all. Relentless, emotionally challenging, genre defying and both life affirming and changing. If ever your sense of the presence or absence of God is going to be challenged in a book- this is it. The Road

The Road

What an amazing book! The point of view is consistent with creating a view of everyman/woman suffering the results of our greedy "me-first-ism". McCarthy has asked us to create in our own minds the desolate terrain of the future, but the terrifying bleakness is mitigated throughout by the love that binds father and son. A must read.

One of the most intense reads I have come across in years. If you are a parent be prepared...this will rip your heart out...but you won't be able to stop. Not for the faint of heart, but a great read that will make you rethink what is really important in your life, and what you might we willing (and able) to do to protect the people that you love.

Post-apocalyptic scrambled eggs?

Riddled with implausibility and grammatical errors (even outside of its informal style), The Road leaves much to be desired. Though it's laden with ample suspense, the book ultimately fails to explain itself; trivial flashbacks serve as cheap teasers to the origin of an apocalypse that is never revealed. The end seems contrived, as does the Christ-like figure embodied by "the boy." Worth the read if you're not craving too much enlightenment. I'm hoping that the movie fleshes out a fuller, more consequential story.
