Title: Can I tell you something? Of course.....ad nauseam
Product review: With the opening description of the obsidian ashen landscape, stark jagged rocks, unrelenting rain, shivering cold, impending death - readers are given imagery that repeats (with word variations) ad infinitum. Surroundings are absolutely, totally, unequivocally, omnipotently bleak and barren. Peppered with human jerky-like bodies and a few random troves of "goods" to keep the pair alive through the book, readers "got" it from the "getgo." Interspersed with the apocalyptic adjectives are stingy offerings of communication between father and son that could be double as caveman speak. Dad has a pat litany of "of course" (with no quotation marks, naturally). The paragraphs are spaced widely apart so as to give the illusion that this is, indeed, a full-length novel.Boring, boring, boring!!! The only good thing about this book is that you can knock it out in a few hours. All The Pretty Horses was so superior to this.
