The Road by Cormack McCarthy

Urtog · 04-26-2008, 11:12 PM

Cormac McCarthy same author that did 'No Country for Old Men' wrote this tale of a post apocalyptic world. The story follows a man and his young son on their journey to the south to evade the on rushing winter.

I really didn't like his writing style at first.... kinda like Yoda without punctuation, however when I got used to it I was hooked into the struggle for survival of this meager family. I was curious if anyone else had peeped this one, and if you found it as intriguing as much as I did.

I plan on reading it, If you liked this book, you will prob like a book called The Stand by Stephen King! try it out...

I read the stand. It's a good book, far better than the tv miniseries. Although I will confess that my buddies and I will sit around on a day off and watch the whole thing straight.

Having read both the Stand and the Road... They're both really good books.

Well worth picking up.

I read some of it but it didn't keep my attention, didn't really get too far into it.

I like the book. But the author's writing style is GARBAGE. I hate his pop art sense of creativity. Oh hey look I wont use any punctuation because it's cool and annoys people It also attracts attention to my unique writing style because writing without punctuation is completely unheard of
