The Road by Cormac McCarthyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had heard a lot--and a lot of disturbing things--about this book, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. No, that's not true. I expected a grim, disturbing, desolate, make me want to kill myself sort of story. That wasn't what the story was at all.
Don't get me wrong--this *is* a grim tale with some disturbing elements to it (e.g., cannibalism). But it's poetically written (though I found some of the passages a bit inaccessible at times) and has a thin, golden thread of hope running through it.
