Title: The Road that goes no where
Product review: Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is an extremely slow read. I found it to have long stretches of boring repetitiveness followed by a short burst of some excitement. The story is like a bad song with a repeating chorus and the only excitement comes in the bridges of the lyrics. "The man and the boy walk, get hungry, get cold, build a fire, sleep, REPEAT x2, find some food, eat it, see some people, survive it, REPEAT chorus again." It was certainly not one of my favorite books but I did enjoy the strong relationship between the man and boy. They only have each other and it makes for a touching father and son relationship. Other than that I found "The Road" a dismal and depressing story, set to an equally bleak and depressing back drop.
