Dystopian story about a father and child traveling south after some sort of apocalypse. You never find out what happened but everything is ash and it seems like all the trees are dead and there are no animals left. You never find out the names of the dad and son. They do encounter some people in their journey. Some are bad. Some are good. The father spends his life protecting the boy and of course finding food. It was very well written and you can feel the desperation of the situation. However, clearly the dad wants to continue living and not give up. Recommend.

I wanted to read this book because many of my friends on GoodReads read it and liked it, it got superb reviews, and it's an Oprah Book Club selection. Something must be wrong with me because I hated it! It was depressing, confusing, jumbled, and really wasn't all that interesting to me. I kept reading it waiting for the "good" part and it never came. The author also wrote the book No Country For Old Men which Joe and I recently watched the movie of when it was on TV a couple of months ago. We thought the exact same thing of that movie - so apparently I'm just not a fan of the author at all. Might I also add that I've NEVER liked an Oprah Book Club book? I've read at least 10 that have been on her list and can't think of one that I truly enjoyed.
So my dear friends who read this book and enjoyed it.......WHY?! I really do want to know why you liked it. Maybe I missed something?
