The Road

The Road. Cormac Mcarthy

A father and son referred to only as "son" and "papa" travel on a road across a post apocalyptic america. The man teaches his son how to find food, protect himself , and most of all, survive to carry the fire on for the human race. Their goal is go south, where they will be able to survive another winter under the ashen sky.

I really enjoyed the writing style in this book. Cormac Mcarthy used short, bare sentences to show scenes, even though there are great descriptions. The relationship between the characters is portrayed very well, and I understood them. I would rate this book at 4 out of 5
