The Road
RRP: £7.99 Our Price: £2.94 (subject to change) ReviewsA book that will stay with you.. Review date: 2008-11-20 Rating: 8 out of 10 The Road was originally released in 2006, and one year later, it was the winner of The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It has received many outstanding reviews, but also some negative. With the release of Harvey Weinstein's film in 2009, panmacmillan are releasing a film tie-in version. The Road tells of a journey taken by a man and his son, years following an unnamed catastrophe that has befallen North America, and presumably the rest of the world. There are brief hints as to what has happened, but nothing more. Most of life has gone.. plants are dead, and most species are extinct. This is not an action tale, which seems to be the main point of the negative reviews. The story does not depend on moments of drama or terror, but rather the day to day struggle to exist, in a bleak world. The style is basic and minimal, with no chapters, and no speech marks. It takes a while to get used to, but once involved in the book, the style allows the journey and the story to unfold, without any distraction. Set against this dark background, is the close relationship between the father and son, as they continuously strive to survive. This closeness is ever apparent, as they rely on each other day to day. Through them you feel fear, love and also hope, as they attempt their continuous journey together. An action book this may not be, but it's certainly one that will leave a lasting impression on you. Harrowing. try not to cry at the end like i did. Review date: 2008-11-19 Rating: 10 out of 10 The Dialouge: spare rhythmical exchange between father and son in a post apocolyptic hell world. ( I believed every word they said to each other, Realism!!! so amazing) The Writing: some good similies. the Father's thoughts are beautiful and realistic. The Story: The Father and son are 100 percent beleivable. it felt real. it all felt real. The story has been done before in comic books to death--nice to see it done in a realistic manner. you, your children, your grandparents should read this. Review date: 2008-11-17 Rating: 10 out of 10 This is a chilling look ahead. A brilliant writer. Read this with somebody else in the house and phone access to a therapist. This man is my favourite modern American author. Less would have been More Review date: 2008-11-16 Rating: 6 out of 10 I am truly surprised by all the positive reviews. I can't agree. The author has done much better in his previous work (The Plains Trilogy). It is extremely repetitive and endless. It could have been a short story, which would have been more effective.
