Helpful Score: 2
This novel was recently named as the 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner for Fiction. It is a remarkable book that you won't be able to put down. Cormac McCarthy has a unique writing style (e.g. quirky punctuation)that you must embrace or ignore if you are to enjoy this book. Actually, "enjoy" is not the right word for reading "The Road." Gripping, terrible, sad, horrifying, the list of adjectives goes on and on . . . . this book broke my heart.
That a book can be so utterly wrenching with such spare writing and in (relatively) few pages makes Mr. McCarthy a genius, in my humble opinion. A must read.
