My review on "The Road"

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a seriously amazing book. A surprisingly easy read and it was also the winner of the Pulitzer Prize. The setting is of a not to future world, when everything you know and loved is destroyed and gone. Ash covers the earth and barley anyone remains. The book follows A man and his son, (who are never named) and there journey to the coast in hopes of something better and warmer then there current predicament. All they have are each other; they are there each others live entirely. The pale scraggly father is willing to do anything to keep his very pale nine year old son safe from the “bad guys” that are left roaming around. His son was raised in this world knowing nothing else. The sun always covered by smoke and ash. The family left alone in this world to suffer the consequences of the earth’s ungrateful inhabitants. Tribes band together some good and some bad in the wasteland. All they have is hope and each other, they carry the fire. I encourage you read this book! The ending will leaving you breathless, I finished the book in less then five days.
