This is such an amazing book! It takes place after what is obviously a global disaster or war. A man and his son walk for miles to get to the ocean. That's all I can say without givig more away. It's very very good. It was an Oprah pick, actually.
I read this book too. It's so bleak and hopeless. I felt totally depressed after. Why would someone write a story without a shred of hope in it? Was that the point?
I'm currently reading The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon. I'm not too far into it yet, but it's pretty good! If you've never heard of Michael Chabon, he wrote one of my favorite books, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, which won a Pulitzer. Excellent!
Oh I know! The Road was so hopeless! I also think it was unrealistic. They were eating canned fruit that was easily 7yrs old. Most canned fruit I've seen only lasts 2-3yrs on the shelf if you look at the expiry date. I know it's a little detail, but it didn't seem very realistic.
I really dig this series.... the series currently have four books of the projected seven. A Great masterpiece by George R.R. Martin.
book 1- Game of Thrones
book 2- Clash of Kings
book 3- Storm of Swords
book 4- Feast for crows
book 5- Dance of Dragons
book 6- TBA
Book 7- TBA
I hope you can read them and enjoy them as much as I do... :)
^Im excited with the next book! I really love tyrion character... GRRM is a blessing!
Waiting for book 5 is really killing me! George just finish it now! hehhe
