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...
Goodness, what to say. This was one long, boring, and bleak book. So bleak. It's the story of a man and a child who are on a journey to the coast after the world is (basically) destroyed. I would have loved to know the what in this story, but we never get it, only a couple flashbacks about the m...

A ver empezaré mi reseña, y esta reseña será particularmente gráfica. Pues no es el primer libro de McCarthy que leo, antes leí el de No country for Old Men, y me gusto mucho no me atrapo tanto como debería pero debo aceptar que me gusto. Entonces decidí darle una oportunidad con The Road, cuando em...
