Lee R. (fibonacci) reviewed on 2/2/2011 + 29 more book reviews

I honest don't see why this book was so popular. It even made the Oprah Book Club and sold millions of copies but it is as dark and depressing as anything I have ever read with no relief in sight. McCarthy paints a post apocalyptic world full of hazards, especially other humans. If there is any redeeming quality in the book it is the faintest glimmer of hope revealed in the protagonist and his charge in the face of the most dire of circumstances. If you love stories about a post holocaust world, seek professional help before reading this dark tome.
