mruddock27 's review for:
The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
After trying to read McCarthy's other acclaimed book, Blood Meridian and failing, I decided to give a shot at his most famous book, The Road.
While I believe McCarthy is still difficult to read sometimes because of his lack of punctuation, I found The Road easier to digest, and simpler to follow, mostly likely because of there only being 2 different characters are most parts in the book.
The book was a great tale of two people, The Man and The Boy and their adventure down a road to survive. Nothing is mentioned on why everything is run down, where The Man and The Boy are from, or even where they're going aside from "South" to "meet the good guys."
The only thing that bothered me about this book was the conversations between The Man and The Boy:
The Boy: I'm scared
The Man: It'll be okay
The Boy: Okay
The Man: Okay
UGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.
Still a great book, 4/5.
