The apocalypse itself didn't always make the most sense. It wasn't really steeped in much reality, but that didn't detract from the story too much. I really liked the writing style, but that comes from having listened to its audiobook. Judging by the other reviews, there may be some style choices that could have made it hard to read a physical copy. The audiobook however was great.

The canabolism is pretty bad through the book. This includes the main characters stumbling across a baby being cooked. There are many dead bodies. Also, the characters almost starve to death a few times.revolution666's review against another edition

"If you died I would want to die too."
"So you could be with me?"
"Yes. So I could be with you."
"Okay."
McCarthy is so incredibly talented. This was a horrifying book. I will never be the same.
