I just finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy this morning. Have any of my fellow Treebies read it? I'd like to know your opinions.
Thanks,
Gabe

saw the movie, it still haunts me and is in truth where we are headed.
I have both the book and the movie. The book was much better but either would give one nightmares. I liked them.

Have read the book and watched the movie, very good...................
My guess is what happened was a solar flare hitting the earth..................
Myself what was in the movie, is what we are going to be facing world wide, basically mad max...................
I agree everybody needs to read the Road as well................and if you have a very storng stomach watch the movie.........
Both read the book and saw the movie. Hated both - but only because they terrified me. A day doesn't pass that I don't think of that story.
I read it a while back and it haunted me.
One lesson from the book: Have plenty of ammo on hand!
I have watched part of the movie, pretty damn depressing, to depressing for me to stay with it all the way through...
I couldn't get past the fact that the catastrophe didn't make much sense. No life anywhere but humans put it into the realm of fantasy for me.
Otherwise, it was well written and kind of poetic, but the lack of realism in the situation kept taking me out of the story.
I think all of the animals had been hunted down.
