Title: Worst Book I Have Ever Read
Product review: This is even worse than "No Country for Old Men." While the ending of that book destroyed it for me, at least the book had a story. This one doesn't. Nothing happens. Nothing at all. A father and his son push a shopping cart down the road -- that's the plot. You can read the first page, then skip to the last page and you won't miss a thing. There are some bad guys, but the father and son never interact with them, and the boy must be the most annoying kid in all fiction. He has two lines of dialogue. "I'm scared," and "I'm really scared." Yeah, yeah, the writing is poetic and all, but the point of fiction is to tell a story and McCarthy completely misses the boat here. I understand they're making a movie out of this, but I can't imagine how. I gave it 1 star only because you can't give it a zero.
