Book Review of The Road (Movie Tie In Edition)) (Vintage International)

The Road (Movie Tie In Edition)) (Vintage International)
reviewed Different than anything I've read before on
Helpful Score: 1


Wow...a powerful, moving book. I was drawn in by the story. I got so emotionally involved that I had to stop reading in the middle of the story and find something to cheer me up - I was too depressed to keep reading. But I picked it back up the next day and finished it, and I'm glad I did. If you are like me and you're a speedy reader, it can be a little hard to read. Had to slow down. The writer's style was a little confusing. The author leaves so many questions unanswered, like what exactly happened to destroy the world and how long father and son have been traveling. He doesn't even tell you the characters' names or ages. The curiosity pulls you through the book, because you're searching for the details and the answers along the way. But it also makes it easy for any reader to relate to them and feel what the characters are experiencing along the way. They could be any father and son struggling to survive after any natural disaster.
