A classic apocalypse tale. It follows the life of a father and his young son as they try to survive in a world that has been destroyed by some form of unnamed apocalypse. Travelling a seemingly endless and dangerous road, the nameless duo are brought across different aspects of the apocalypse, highlighting the different human reactions to a situation such as this.
There are two reasons that I cannot give this a higher rating; one) the grammar and punctuation are next to nonexistent, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does make it hard to read at times; two) no matter what problems the duo come across, they are solved quickly and without any real consequence- most of what they come across isn't relative to the plot past showing the reader how this new dystopian world has changed people, and it would make little difference to the plot if it wasn't included.
