The Road is an extremely dark story about a boy and his father traveling to the coast after the planet has gone through a devastating event that has poisoned the air, killed most living things, and laid down a layer of ash across the countryside. For the remaining survivors, staying alive has become the focus of their existence. Although the story is a bleak one, once I began reading, I could hardly put the book down, finishing it in two days.
