The searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food-and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

This is a great book. The story is very scary and sad, but the relationship between the father and son is beautiful. I didn't want it to end!

Scariest book I ever read - couldn't put it down (I actually read the book rather than listen to it).

Mycket fin relation mellan far och son. Lite svårt få grepp om vad som hänt, uppenbarligen är det inte viktigt för berättelsen men samtidigt känns också slutet som en skönmålning, och blir mer sådan när alla tidigare möten var betydligt mer aggressiva.

En av de mest skrämmande och hjärtskärande böcker jag har läst.

En mörk berättelse som lämnade en känsla av sorg och tröstlöshet. Att den är skriven i 3dje person, utan namngivna huvudroller, bidrar också till stämningen som satte sig som en knut i magen. Klart värd att lyssna på.

Stark 4:a. Ömt men återhållsamt berättad är The Road en roman som handlar om modet som krävs för att överleva och våga tro på en bättre framtid.

Bra bok, hade sett filmen men blev rekommenderad av en film buff att läsa boken. Väldigt läsvärd 👌😉 Har en lite annan twist än filmen så bra grejer
