edwardgrey 's review for:
The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
What a book. So weird and different from so many other books. It's maybe hard to explain.
It feels like this book is trying to tell a story that other stories in these similar settings wouldn't try to tell. Or like... the focus is on different things, mainly the people. I'm explaining this horribly lol.
Anyway, I would say I liked the novel. When I started reading it I didn't know much and I can't say that the first few pages make you necessarily want to keep reading. It might even feel boring at times, but I am glad I kept on reading. The conversations between the father and the son were beautiful. And some of their encounters very creepy.
Post-Apocalyptic stories often tend to be bleak and depressing. And yet it is exactly in these terrible circumstances that humanity truly tends to shine. And I love that.
As always this is a pretty terrible review, but that’s okay. I was very happy to have been finally able to read this book.
