I loved this book. It is definitely dark, but there is something very endearing about this post apocalyptic tale of a father and his child.It is probably the bare bones writing style of Cormac McCarthy. It fits perfectly with the setting. Although the world is a cruel setting, McCarthy makes the harsh road what it should be... a backdrop or accent for the main story, the love of Father for Child in the only way he knows how.
