The Road

The Road is a good book. A lot happens in this book in a short amount of time. The author does a great job of painting a vivid picture with descriptive words. Because there is so much happening throughout the book it isn’t always easy to follow. The place the characters are changes rapidly so you really have to be paying attention.

 The book is about two people (a man and a boy) that think they are the last people alive. They struggle to find food and shelter, but somehow they live to see another day. They get scared, tired, hungry, and cold, but the father and son never give up on finding other people or surviving.

The author never announces the names of the characters, and I think it adds a very different prospective. I liked this book but it can be confusing. Although it is confusing sometimes, I think it is a great book and the topic is very cool.
