Donna R. reviewed on
A beautiful, elegiac story of a father and son in a terrifying, post-apocalyptic world. There were times when I had to put the book down because I was so afraid something terrible was about to happen to the two, yet my six year old daughter insisted I read passage after passage to her (I skipped over the frightening portions of the story when reading to her), because the relationship between the boy and his father was so tender.
And the writing is wonderful; I may not be able to describe what differentiates good writing from bad, but I can recognize great writing when I read it. This is it.
Finally, the book has helped me prepare for the fact that my parents won't be here all that much longer. Thank you, Cormac McCarthy, for that.
