Absolutely gorgeous drawings. The story sucks you in good. A very good adaptation of the novel, but it also stands on it's own right.

Magnifique BD.  Les dessins sont incroyables, qui rendent cette histoire dure et intense, d'une beauté et d'une tristesse.

The Road is already an incredibly haunting book. But Larcenet’s graphic novel has elevated it to new levels. 

It’s as bleak as it is beautiful. The original story is distilled to perfection and complimented by a hundreds of original illustrations which are quite simply breathtaking. 

A must-buy for all fans of The Road.

Je n'avais ni lu le roman ni vu le film avant de lire cette adaptation BD. C'est horrible et super badant. Manu Larcenet a ce talent de rendre les récits d'autant plus poignants grâce à son trait et la composition de ses planches.

Excellent artistic representation of Cormac McCarthy's bleak post-apocalyptic book. I think having read the book definitely enhanced my appreciation, but I would be interested to hear the opinion of those who only read the graphic novel.
