Loved this book! Domestic violence and how she got out of the marriage. Dark humor makes this difficult subject readable.

A lot of the core information in this book is great, but it seems as though he ran out of steam and was being paid by the word. The end of the book should have been seriously pared down because it was very redundant.

I would have given it a four star... but one question just keeps bugging my head: How the hell did the mother survive the pregnancy and birth, then?! Oh well, call me no fun and have no imagination, but it's just this one bit of the story that bugs me that does it. Otherwise the rest of the story's quite intriguing and a nice light read with some thoughts put into it. I would have given it four stars were it not for that one question.

I loved the idea of this, but the writing was not as fantastic as I could have hoped. A couple of scandalous scenes... Overall it was compelling and emotional, and parts of it made me ache at the bittersweet aspects of love.

I don't get the fuss about this book. I like Mo Willem's work, but this one leaves me cold.

This wasn't what I wanted it to be, and so I'm not sure I could recommend it.

This book took me on a rather depressing journey, but I did appreciate it's ability to knock my awareness one notch up.

Cormac McCarthy’s recent novels have featured monosyllabic men as main characters: John Grady Cole. Billy Parham. Llewelyn Moss. The protagonist of The Road, an unnamed father who survives the apocalypse, shares many similarities with Cole, Parham, and Moss. The word forthcoming, for instance, certainly does not describe the man, but The Road, unlike other McCarthy novels, including The Border Trilogy and No Country for Old Men, contrasts sharply in one significant way: the man shows emotions in ways Cole, Parham, and Moss do not. McCarthy states, “There were times when he sat watching the boy sleep that he would begin to sob uncontrollably but it wasnt about death. He wasnt sure what it was about but he thought it was about beauty or about goodness. Things that he’d no longer any way to think about at all.” The Road is a novel concerned with contrasts. There are good guys, but mostly there are bad guys. There is survival, but mostly there is death. I read The Road in April, 2009, two and a half years after its publication. By that point, many of my friends---intelligent readers whose opinions I value---had already finished The Road. The feedback I heard was consistent: It’s brilliant, but it’s a brutal, devastating story…one that’s so bleak that it’s a challenge to finish. I do not share this sentiment, although I recognize the point of view. Violence, suffering, and death permeate every page of The Road. At its core, though, the narrative is about the love between a father and son. This pronounced love is unsentimental yet simultaneously moving, and tenderness---the imperative need to care for someone---is another characteristic that distinguishes The Road from recent McCarthy novels. Early in the novel McCarthy writes: “There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one’s head have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes. So, he whispered to the sleeping boy. I have you.” The Road’s message is not one of salvation (despite the fact that the boy is an undeniable Christ figure) but of survival. It’s easy to read the novel and focus on the destruction, the grotesqueness, and the bleakness, but the compassion the man shows for his son is what ultimately makes The Road more palatable to a mass audience.

it is impossable for 2 people to effectively communicate with each other. the same word can mean 2 different things to 2 different people. Like colors, what if what you see red the way I see blue, yet you've been trained to call it red. The government is developing a biological weapon that takes away a persons ability to communicate. Without communication no one can collaborate. everyone is on their own and nothing can get done.
