  5. klarusu recomenda Far North por Marcel Theroux, "Far North is less harrowing than The Road but equally thought provoking"
  6. psybre recomenda Earth Abides por George R. Stewart, "Earth Abides, a classic post-apocalyptic novel published in 1949, is a bit less dark, and as an ecological fable, contains more science than The Road. (ver mais) When pondering to read The Road again, read this book instead."
  7. Boohradley recomenda Parable of the Sower por Octavia E. Butler, "There are a lot of similarities between the plot of this book and The Road. In Parable of the Sower an adolescent girl, who suffers from hyper-empathy, (ver mais) makes a long journey in hope of survival in a hostile, post-apocalyptic world."
  8. PDcastello recomenda I Am Legend por Richard Matheson, "Same type of small and silent epic"
  9. Stbalbach recomenda The Painted Bird por Jerzy Kosinski, "Kosinski & McCarthy were born 5 weeks apart in 1933 and were ages 6-12 during WWII. Both books are dark violent fables told from a child's view."
  10. dhoyt recomenda A Wrinkle in the Skin por John Christopher, "A much better father and son story in a post-apocalyptic world."

In 2006, Cormac McCarthy pulped a book about the end times. However you want to label it and say how this comes to be, he leaves that to you, but what he spins on the pages is a story of suspense, survival, and of finding hope in a place void of it.

The Road's two characters are a son and a father. The father is attempting to survive any way he can, and he never lets the son lose hope.

The Road follows suit with other McCarthy works with minimal punctuation and without proper names. The characters have no names, much like the Clint Eastwood character in the 70's. But this doesn't make them any less real or tangible. At the end of the novel, you feel like you have walked through the apocalypse with them.

This is not a horror book, but it does have some horrific scenes in it. I think what works the best, with horror, is when it is a subtle thing. One scene, in The Road, the two characters come across something terrible. This terribleness is not described in graphic detail, but the reader is given just enough to realize what is happening, and to realize the peril that the two protagonists are in. This is a good lesson to us writers: sometimes the imagination can scare a person better than any printed word.

The Road is a quick read. It's not long and it isn't supposed to be. Everything that is in it is for a purpose, and there is no filler. At no point, in reading The Road, do you think: we're just wasting time here. Every second is stacked with story, and every page filled with what it totally and completely necessary.

There's a reason why Cormac McCarthy is considered one of the best author's of this generation. His story weaving is something to breathe in deeply. The Road is a great start if you haven't read McCarthy before. ( )

I finished 'Suttree' in the morning and then read 'The Road' in three hours. A wonderful book. ( )

An excellent novel about a man and his son in a post-apocalyptic world trying to survive as they journey south to what they hope is a warmer climate. The horrors, challenges and suffering they endure is described in stark, concise language, evocative of the world in which they are living. And yet this dark, dismal, horrific story is uplifted by the loving relationship of parent and child.

An amazing story that I will carry with me for a long time.

Strange, disturbing yet reassuring - good will triumph no matter what is faced! ( )
