Title: horrific descriptions haunt me
Product review: This book is very well written, you can fly through it. The problem is that you may not want to. I am not a shrinking violet, but I had to put this book down half way through. I continue to be haunted by barbaric images, so coldly and callously delivered to the reader. I made it about 20 pages past the first cellar scene. The post-apocalyptic world may indeed be exactly as he describes, and like another reviewer I hope I would be among the lucky dead if that happens. But keeping these negative images in my head makes me feel as if I am contributing to this eventual outcome. McCarthy celebrates the most vile and inhumane traits of people. No thanks!
