The Road by Cormac McCarthy

dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I would have made a lot of different choices than the father throughout the book, so it was hard in a lot of ways for me to relate.  It's definitely a book that has challenged my worldview, and it made me think deeply about the will to fight/live/survive/humanity itself.  That being said, I really didn't like it, although I CAN appreciate the writing.
