I couldn't finish this. I so badly wanted to - McCarthy's The Road is one of my all-time favorite books - but this book just didn't grab me. I can understand all the folks who rave about this book because of it's incredible descriptive style, but it felt very impersonal and I had a hell of a time connecting to anything in the story. I gave it a solid 110 pages before I realized I was avoiding reading because I didn't want to read this book. This book was missing something the Road had - a way of emotionally connecting to the reader.
