What can I say about this book? It’s probably one of the best ones I’ve ever read, though I can see how it might not be for everyone–the author definitely took some liberties with sentence structure and punctuation. However, I was so engrossed that I didn’t even notice until Brian pointed it out.
The book was based in a post-apocalyptic world. This is only one of my favorite subjects to read about. But, it was really just a story about a man and his son and what they had to go through. Totally riveting, though. I started reading it Saturday night and finished it Sunday afternoon. Had I started reading earlier in the day Saturday, there is no doubt I would have read it straight through.
The author, Cormac McCarthy, is the same guy who wrote “No Country for Old Men”. We really liked that movie, so we’re going to check out that book next before reading some of his others.
Whether or not you read this book, you’re going to be hearing a lot about it soon–it’s being released as a “major motion picture” next month. The trailer looks incredible. It’s already on my list. We might even go to the theater for this one!
