The Road (Oprah's Book Club) 1606 reviews
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage Books, 2007
Wow. What a great book but - whew - don't expect to be lift up.
Another outstanding book from Cormac. And out of his normal genre. I really enjoyed the book but it is gonna leave you feeling like you need some sunshine afterwards. Dark book, dark story telling done very well.
