Absolutely devastating world building. Every second that I imagined myself in the world of The Road, my spine shivered. It truly changed my perspective towards the simple pleasures of life that I have been grateful to enjoy on a regular basis and that I take for granted too often.
Perhaps the only flaw of this book is in the writing style, which is a very controversial take, since Cormac McCarthy won a Pulitzer Prize for this novel. But I found myself disconnected at several points within the story, only because it felt repetitive and tiresome, since there are no chapter breaks and no character developments throughout. But another way you look at it might be that the author wants to make the reader uncomfortable as a way of immersive storytelling.
