Taken from back:
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don''t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other.The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other''s world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.

Interesting book. I like how they never really say what happened before the book starts to cause the destruction. It's left to the readers imagination. Loved the imagery used at the end of the book.

Sent out in the INTL Sweeps RABCK.

Received from kally93 - thank you!

Since I was fortunate enough to receive two copies of this book as winner of the International Sweepstake I am sending this one off to Nakipa in Portugal as a RABCK. Hope you enjoy it!

To Nakipa as a RABCK

Well, BC has these kinds of things. Not long since I sent you a Sweeps book, I receive a RABCK from you. It was very thoughtful of you to share with me this wishlist book and I'm sure I'll like it. And thanks for the postcard, it keeps my dream of going to Australia someday alive. :D

Well, I really liked the story of this book, the last 40 pages? I read them like a crazy person trying to find the end of the road. The way the writer constructs the sentences, paragraphs, dialogues? Not so much! I am really looking forward to watching the movie, it can only be good.

This book is going out to you because of this:

Such a well travelled book started by another Canadian friend, Kally93. I so look forward to this one clawing its way to the top of my TBR Mountain Range. Thanks again everyone!
