A review by martoconnell
The Road by Cormac McCarthy

5.0

"If he is not the word of God God never spoke."

This was my fifth Cormac McCarthy book in the last eight months, and while all have been devastating in their own ways, this was especially so. You know how the story ends and you know there's no way to change it as it creeps closer and closer. When I reached the last page and saw the final passage about the brook trout, I had to close the book and step away for a minute.
