Search - The Road

I thought this book was going to be a lot better than it actually was. I found that the entire book is the same thing over and over. I actually lost my page at one point and it took me forever to find my place again because every page has the same thing on it. Everything's grey and black and covered in ash and they're starving all the time. Very anti-climatic and boring book.

It's terrible to think of a world as dark and despairing as what these individuals went through. The author did well in conveying the fathers love for his son and the faith the child had during the journey. Really makes you stop and think...

Very well written, kept me reading long into the night. Kind of a bleak story of the end of days but there is an underlying thread of courage, and good old American grit.

I was hesitant about reading this book due to it's depressing plot, my husband gave it to me for a gift. However, once I did start to read it, I couldn't put the book down. It's more than just a survival story, it's a touching story about a father's love for his son and everything he is willing to do to see to it that his son lives on in dire circumstances. Well written and very believable.
