Title: dreary and grey
Product review: I read the book "The Road", after I had seen the author interviewed on Oprah. I disliked it intensely. It is well-written as a novel, but thoroughly depressing and dreary. Oprah and others said how hopeful it was in the end; I didn't see it. I can't remember being so sure so early that this was a book I disliked. I sold my brand new copy right away to the second-hand bookstore, so certain was I that I would never read it again, or recommend it to anyone.I also had a feeling as I read it...this is very familiar; what book does it remind me of? Suddenly it came to me - "Waiting for Godot" and "Endgame" by Samuel Beckett - two plays I love, by an author who has long been a favourite of mine. He can be extremely depressing in the view he paints of man's life and the meaning of life, but there is always humour, at least to me. "The Road" was humourless.
