Book Review of The Road

The Road
The Road
Author: Cormac McCarthy
Genres: Literature & Fiction, Reference
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 1


This was one of the most disturbing books I have ever read. It was also one of the best books I have ever read. It has a unique style the way none of the main characters have proper names. They are referred to by their roles. Also, I liked the fact that the author never said what happened to cause the devastation nor any real cities or parts of the country. Some parts of the book were horrific but it made the book even more intense.
