charlottefontana 's review for:
The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
I read this for my 11th grade English class and the entire time I kept wishing I was reading some great classic. Instead we read this boring, pointless, and badly written book. There were maybe 3 interesting things that happened and I wasn’t invested in the characters or the setting. At some points the unconventional writing style would shine and things would come off vivid and disturbing, but most of the time it felt stupid and convoluted (the dark is described as autistic at one point???).
It didn’t provide me “insights into humanity” as my English teacher thought it would. I came out this book feeling hollow and bored.
1.5
