This is my first Cormac McCarthy book that I listened to. It reminded me of Graham Greene's "the Power and the Glory", both are border stories between US and MX. Honestly The Power and the Glory made me think more, took me several days to "recover". Like Cormac McCathy said, any book dealing with life and death (especially the latter) is worth reading.

I was hesitating if I shall fill a Sunday with misery by spending 7hrs listening to this book. The book prior to this was Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses, a southern border story, the typical Southern Gothic read. I like The Road better. I didn't get a chance to watch the movie, but I could visualize the post-apocalyptic world, I coudl feel the deep love the father towards the son, the son's innocence struggling to survive the brutal reality and the father's internal debate between to live or keep his son's innocence. It's heavy but worth the read

Short and sweet, full of English and NYC humor

witty, warming, I laught to tears so hard as I have never before. Only the last part was dragging a bit. Overall it is a good read for a book store and book lover related book
