THE ROAD: LOVE IN GLOOM

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: This book gives us a view of what will happen if mankind continues on current paths of destruction.
Review: I don't always get to watch the Oprah Winfrey show but I happened to see it when she named "The Road" her book of the month. McCarthy is one of my favorite modern authors, so I immediately bought the book. One of the reasons I like McCarthy so much...

"The Road": Less Traveled, Now and Evermore

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: Cormac McCarthy tries his hand at writing post-apocalyptic fiction in The Road. The resulting blend of grim worldview and ghastly subject is powerful and, above all, chilling.
Review: The Road - Cormac McCarthy

Cormac McCarthy Creates a Bleakly Magnificent World in "The Road"

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2008
The Bottom Line:

Stark, Horrifying, Tender, Beautiful.

Review: Since becoming a father in 2002, I've noticed that there are particular stories...particular genres...that I can't stand watching in films, or reading about in books. That genre is anything that puts a child--especially a boy--in peril. Those...

A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other.
