The Road by Cormac McCarthy
3.5
challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

Just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy and… I have mixed feelings. It’s undeniably moving and thought-provoking, with a haunting tone that lingers. But I found myself wishing for a bit more conflict—internal or external—to really pull me in. I can absolutely see why it resonates so deeply for others, but for me, it felt a little outside my usual wheelhouse. A powerful, quiet read
