This book got my interest originally because it was written by the same person who wrote 'No Country for Old Men'. I had seen that as a movie, but had not read the book, and I wanted to read something by the same author without the preconceived notions you get from seeing a movie first. Once I started reading, I was pulled into the story of the two main characters and their journey on the road. I have seen criticisms of this book referring to the lack of punctuation and to the lack of clarity at times of which character is speaking, but for me it reflected the chaos of the world they are trying to survive in. This was one of those books where I found myself being pulled into the plot in the "what would I do in this situation?" kind of way. Ultimately, this book made me really think about what life is when all there is are the basics and the niceties are stripped away. And anytime a book makes me think when I am away from actually reading it, I think the author has more than done his work.
A more than worthwhile book!
