The Road by Cormac McCarthy
5.0
dark sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Simply heartbreaking. McCarthy's depiction of survival in his apocalyptic world is completely devastating but realistic. Fantastic depictions of hunger, cold, desperation, and, above all else, hope. Hits in a more personal way since I lived close to the California wildfires for a time. Loved the ending.
