Book Reviews of The Road
Book Review: Simple tale of survival
Summary: 4 Stars
I had never read any thing by Cormac McCarthy before, but after watching the movie version of "No Country for Old Men" decided to see what else there was out there by the author. So this book came up in my search on Amazon. For the price I decided to give a shot and besides with Viggo on the cover I knew I would want to see the movie.
The book was a fast read and it is easy to tell the "good" guys from the "bad" guys. It tells of the struggles a father has for trying to keep him and his son safe from the world around them. The story follows the duo as the make the trek south to a mystery destination that the father hopes will be free form the desperate landscape and devastation the world around them has become. There are some very dark times for the two of them to survive and adapt to.
How would you do with out the conveniences of the modern world?
