The Road by Cormac McCarthy

---

McCarthy swaps his trademark sun-dazzled sierras and glimmering constellations for a desolate, dust-swept wasteland and instead pours every ounce of literary genius into the valiant struggle of the man, the boy and the fire they carry. The Road is an incredibly compelling page-turner that  explores morality and what it is to be human in a world shared by the innocent and the innocence lost.
