"The Road"
I kept waiting for the hopeful part of "The Road ." Alex said there would be a hopeful part, and some reviewers on Amazon have called it "uplifting."
I don't think so.
It's the post-apocalyptic story of a boy and his father, and they're making their way south and everything is ash and terror.
Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it. It gave me nightmares, and I think it will continue to do so.Labels: reading

Alex says, "I'm trudging through "Blood Meridian" right now. It's beautifully written but good golly it's violent!" (11:27 AM, November 16, 2006)
