Horrifying, engrossing, provocative.....these are just a few descriptions that come to my mind. I could not put this book down! A very haunting tale that you will carry with you for a long time. A story of a father and his young son in the final apocalyptic days of the earth. THE ROAD is the path they struggle along daily searching for basic necessities in a dying world. Written in short paragraphs, the novel is a journal of flashbacks, dreams and conversations between the man and the little boy. They struggle daily towards an unknown goal, facing inevitable death. Their frank discussions of death are gut wrenching. This book will have you considering your own reactions if faced with similar situations. This is shocking concept and you will want to discuss this book with others after you have read it. I highly recommend this novel.
