The reviews on this book.......Masterpiece.....Breathtaking........Brilliant....
- Do you agree?
- Did you like McCarthy's writing style?
- Did you see the movie?
The first time I read THE ROAD, I remembered it as being a 'love story' between father and son....this time I had a hard time getting through the bleakness..........
- How did you view the story?
What did you picture caused the end? nuclear...volcanic...something from space, etc.? - Human Behavior..."unchecked"........What would happen? How would man act if he knew no one would know..........cannibles - only concerned with our own survival? etc.
- Would compassion and mercy exsist?
- Do you think the father believed his son to be "the new savior" of the world to carry on the fire, to beg for mercy for the strangers he meets?
- Was their journey a symbol for something?
- What does the book's ending suggest about the (the boy's) world to come?
- How would you have ended the book and the father.
- Do you think this book is in anyway realistic................could we be headed for a bleak ending?
I hope you all have been able to get through the book. I have some directions to get to my house. Take I-69 north to the Noblesville/Fishers exit. Take 37 on north all the way to Noblesville and the intersection with 32. Continue through the intersection north to the next stoplight, 191 Street. There is a firehouse on one corner and a Catholic church on the other. Turn West on 191 to the first stop sign, Cumberland Road. Turn north on Cumberland Road. Continue north across the river to the first road on the right, Riverwood Ave. Turn right and go to the fifth house on the left. We have a very old barn in the front yard.
