Cormac McCarthy - The Road Books

Cormac McCarthy - The Road

Consumer Rating: Cormac McCarthy - The Road Reviews and Ratings - Rating 4/5   See 1 review  | Write a review
Information: Product details
Price Range: $4.60 - $10.76 at 5 stores
Cormac McCarthy's bleak vision of the American landscape has always had a cataclysmic undertone, so it comes as no surprise that THE ROAD is actually set in a post-apocalyptic world of ash and bitter cold where cannibalistic marauders roam the countryside. In this dire place, a man and his son travel towards the sea armed only with a revolver and two bullets. Amid this desolation, a tin of canned pears is thing of wonder, and a broken wheel on their shopping cart can mean the difference between life and death. Their love for each other is fierce, but the son fears that his father has, in his desperation, become as savage and brutal as the world around him. Cormac McCarthy writes with a searing white heat, his images and language strike deep in the reader, and his vision of humanity is inexorable and haunting.

Cormac Mc Carthy's trip down The Road isn't an easy one.

Pros: wonderful father/son relationship, named Best Book of the past 25 Years
Cons: depressing, not written in full sentences, some disturbing scenes
The Bottom Line: The Road is a very serious book that requires some time and concentration, but I'm happy that I read it.

Review: One of the bartenders at my local Friday afternoon watering-hole and I seem to have formed our own little book club. We pass books back and forth to each other to read and then have as much conversation about them as we can in between all of the...
