I think there are really two things to review for this book: one is the writing, the other is the story. The writing is terrible! No commas, sentence fragments, phrases like "the night was darker than dark". Ugh. I read the first page three times and was starting to think I'd had a stroke because no much acclaimed book by a respectable author could possibly be so jumbled. I felt like I had to reduce myself to a third grade reading level in order to understand this book. ***This part might contain mild spoilers*** The story could have been good. The author got carried away with the angst and it really affected the story. Whatever event occurred to bring the earth to it's bleak and barren state happened less than a decade before the story, and apparently killed off most people, yet every house in the continental US has been stripped of any useful items or provisions by the scant surviving members of the human race. It's always cold and overcast and nothing can grow, yet somehow there is an apple orchard that not only manages to grow fruit, but also escape the attention of all of the other wandering scavengers in the book. Miraculously, after pages and pages and pages of starving and coughing and freezing, the main characters find a secret cellar full of food, so well hidden that only the main character, with the supreme knowledge of foraging and finding secret cellars that all main characters are gifted with, can find it, but they don't stay there because apparently they haven't starved and coughed and frozen enough yet, so they set out again. The story continues in this way for some time, with horror upon horror being heaped on our poor protagonist and his son, and then the book suddenly ends. The whole time they're traveling, they had to avoid other people because of course everyone else was a raping cannibal out to eat the little boy, then when the kid is on his own for a bit, he of course finds one of the last good people on earth, who happens to belong to a whole community of the last good people on earth. The ending was entirely too simple and convenient after all the overwrought angst we'd had to endure to get there. And the angst, seriously overdone. I think the reason this book gets good reviews is because the angst draws people in and overwhelms them so that they don't realize the story actually isn't very good.
