Differing in setting, but not in vibe and quality, from the rest of McCarthy's production, this slender yet thick novel - possibly the best in the whole apocalyptic genre - develops further the analysis of the sharp contrast between the beautiful and gruesome sides of life that's the leitmotiv of th...
Fans of Susan Beth Pfeifer's LIFE AS WE KNEW IT will love THE ROAD. Seriously, it may be an Adult book but YA fans should really read it. Find out why by reading the rest of the review.
Me parece un tour de force; me pensaré como hacer un review adecuado, porque a medida que pasa el tiempo desde que lo leí pienso que debería conocer un poco más a Cormac McCarthy. Ni siquiera he visto la peli de bardem con corte de pelo chachi.Rechazar el nihilismo; tolero mal a Kafka y a todos esos...
DAMN YOU BOOKS that break my heart. I really need to stop reading books that are so heart breaking when I am at the gym. It is not really manly to cry when you are using a elliptical machine. Mr McCarthy lives in Santa Fe and spent a lot of years in El Paso, and living here in the same desert I c...
I had been wanting to read this book for awhile now, but I never got around to it. But just last week my dad bought it for me, which I'm glad he did because I really enjoyed this book.

It's also a tale of a father struggling to raise a child in a world surrounded by death and desperation. The book is a hard read even for me but I enjoy...
It's always a bit difficult to give a bad review of a book that everyone else seems to love, but the idea of reviews is to give your honest opinion.My honest opinion is "I couldn't finish it because it bored me."I like to read a story but this isn't a story. It's more like poetry and I don't really ...
I'll start by saying that this is an extremely personal view, based on my life experiences and not on any literary criteria. I would never ususally read this genre as it doesn't interest me, but I am taking part in a reading challenge. I know nothing about the author and have never seen the film .It...
