Title: suicide or survive?
Product review: Reading about being one of the last people alive in a dying world begs the question asked early in the book: survive or suicide? The book doesn't answer the question for you, but you'll know where you stand by the end. This post-apocalyptic book is unique that it doesn't focus on what caused the catastrophe (never mentioned) or on how to rebuild the society as a Stephen King book would. McCarthy offers no hope. It is clear that we have entered the story years after the cataclysmic event and that the world is ending and the few remaining humans are left hanging on. The book is about a father raising a son in a dying world for no reason other than that they are still alive "for now". The father tries to protect his son from some of the worst horrors and imparts him with the knowledge that there are limits to how far they are willing to go to survive. You will not sleep for days when you read this. It is not for the light of heart.
