Very dark and depressing. Felt myself watching over my shoulder for days after finishing. It's the end of the world, and a father and son struggle to survive. There is no food, no son, few other people-most of whom try to kill them to take what few belongings they have. Some say this is a story of hope....I guess I would have none then!
