Title: A different reading experience
Product review: Plenty of reviews have already covered plot summary. What gripped me was how McCarthy stripped down the prose (hard to read at first, but then it worked with the overall tone of the book) to the same desolate state as the world created. Even though he doesn't use names (except once) and dialogue and descriptions are stripped down to a minimum, its amazing how much you fill out in your mind which makes it a rich experience. Similar to a horror movie that only alludes to the actual crime, sometime the mind fills in much better than full disclosure. I felt the pain of the road, the cautious nature of discovery, the joy of finding minor treasures, and ultimately the pain and strength of love. This is an excellent read that will challenge you, if you let it...
