Title: A bleak dystopia
Product review: You read and re-read The Sheltering Sky, Brave New World or The Handmaid's Tale. Not this book. You read it once, and that's enough. The bleakest dystopia. And unlike The Stand, we don't even get to know why everything goes to hell in a hand basket. We don't know if mankind did it or was it an earthquake. We know that by the time most of the remaining humans are willing to eat infants that something has gone terribly wrong. But we never find out why. There is no redemption. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper. More men will read this book than women, but that's true of most of Corman McCarthy's books. He pulls us into a world where there are very few words, women are decorative or gone. We understand this author's genius without needing to be reminded of it. Kate Gale
