I listened to this one and I am glad I did. Having the story told to you was amazing. The writing is beautiful and left me thinking about it after I finished with lots of questions, which I enjoy.

This book is gruesome. What kept me reading this disturbing one-way plot? Can you call this a plot? I cried for the boy. But Papa succeeded in dragging him to hope.
"They say that women dream of danger to those in their care and men of danger to themselves." Yes, another truth from Cormac McCarthy.
