TWO STARVING ROAD WARRIORS:
Actually I just watched the movie made from this book a few days ago. The movie is indeed haunting and stark. The problem was that there seemed to be no explanation for why the world was suddenly a ruinous wrack with civilization completely collapsed. The entire back story there was just left out. As for the journey of the father and son in the movie it was moving and interesting while remaining bleak. As another reviewer noted here there were basically no positive happenings in the story. The portrayal of the relationship and abiding love and protectiveness between the father and son was touching while offset against the horror of cannabilistic violence prone gangs of persons willing to harm anyone in the name of personal survival. If the book ended as did the movie, I too am left unimpressed... I don't see that much changed for the boy in his overall circumstances.
