The Road

I have the book review position for our blog, which works out perfectly because I have upped my book reading rate significantly over the past few weeks thanks to no more classes! Most recently, I read The Road, by Cormac McCarthy.  He has written several books including No Country for Old Men, which was made into a much publicized movie that you may have heard about.  
The Road is a post-apocalyptic tale about a father and a son who have nothing at the world's end except for each other.  They make their way south slowly and painfully with no idea of what they will find, just a hope that things will be better.  It is a depressing, but also somehow hopeful story, both disturbing and moving at the same time.  I recommend it to those who can handle a somewhat of a downer book.  The writing style is very minimalist and hard to get used to at first, but once I did I found it hard to put down. 
I will be sure to review more books that I find interesting for your enjoyment!  Also, I would love to hear any recommendations of great books to read.  I'm always on the lookout.
