The Road By Cormac McCarthy

i tried to start this earlier last year but I don't know why i didn't get into it. that sounds real superficial and ridicoulous considering the book but hey I can read what I want. Saw No Country For old Men and I loved it so i went back to this book and i could not put it down. It is not Mad Max even though it is post apocolyptic. It is not a thriller. Reading this book I suddenly was moved emotionally. I fell into the rhythm and poetry of this story. I really empathised with the father and pondered my own relationship with my son. how does he see me? Does he look up to me? would he literally follow me to the end of the earth? The prose is simple but beautiful simple phrases paint whole pictures in my head I loved this book and can't wait to read it again.
