A visually beautiful and haunting adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. The artistic style perfectly captures the post apocalyptic, desolate and harsh landscape. The characters are drawn with great detail, highlighting their gaunt features and figures. The artist did an excellent job at capturing the bleak tone and desperation of the original novel. It is largely faithful to the original text, and I hope it inspires people to read the original novel if they have not already.
I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this, but there was something of the original missing. The artwork is amazing, and a lot of what I felt were key scenes were there including my favorite, “last day on earth”. But I can’t help but feel that something was lost between the text and the artwork.
I reread The Road in anticipation of this so maybe I’m unfairly comparing it. Absolutely worth the read though.
