Somehow I think I may be the only person who has read this book and was not enthralled from the begining. It took me quite a while to read, but about halfway through I could not put down. I found it to be a brutal love story of a parent's love for his child, yet nearly as dark and disturbing as STephen King's The Stand. Am sending off to indygo88 as a winner in my "paws" rabck contest.

The Road is here! Thank you, oi-reader, for the great RABCK! Cheers! :')

I didn't think the description of this book sounded particularly engaging when I'd read it, but I'd seen lots of good reviews, so I put it on my wishlist. And although it was extremely depressing, I was engaged throughout the entire story & had trouble putting it aside. It was one of those hauntingly beautiful books. I did have a little trouble with the lack of personalization (i.e. "the man" and "the boy" as opposed to names), although I think I understand why the author chose to do it that way. And I'm still pondering the ending...not sure how I felt about it. But overall a very good book! Thanks again, oi-reader! :')

Going into my Best of BC (#2) Bookbox. I think it's on someone's wishlist!

I've seen really good reviews for this. It's been on my wishlist.

I was sucked into the story from the moment I started reading it. Depressing...yes. Heartbreaking...yes. Cannibalism..yes. A story about the love between a father and son...yes. Looking forward to the movie.

Putting into the "bizarre bookbox".

While I didn't particularly remember All The Pretty Horses though I've read it, somehow this book just called out to me and I found the description on the backcover so enthralling it went straight to the "will keep" pile (versus the bigger "maybe" pile).
Thanks for sharing this book, my dear BC friends!

While reading this book I kept wondering: if it were me, would I keep going? What is the point of staying alive? We stay alive to enjoy things, as a means to an end, but if survival is the end itself and the whole world feels so bleak and hostile, I wonder if I have the courage to keep going.

Going to Sailorarby for the 2006 vbb. Glad to have you Obsessed too!!

Received this book the other day. I cant wait to read it, going on the TBR pile with the other books I cant wait to read.
