I’m halfway through the Road on my new Kindle. I watched No Country for Old Men last week and really enjoyed the dialogue and when reading up on that movie I learned that most of the dialogue was true to the book. So, I then researched the author of NCFOM and read up Cormac McCarthy and noticed that one book about the apocalypse won a Pulitzer. I was intrigued. I couldn’t hardly put the book down last night. It is that good. Great review and I can’t wait to get back to my book now!

The Road is next on my list of books to read.

I love how my first car makes an appearance at the :28 mark, the shitty red Pontiac.

Wow that was a great review. I was actually looking at getting this as part of a three book collection in the UK but it was just to bulky to take on the plane.

Thanks for not posting any spoilers.

I think I am going to have a look at getting an e-reader of some sort as I am in the middle of traveling. So if this is available then I’ll download it.

Thanks again.

I was looking forward to that movie, but didn’t know there was a book, I should check it out.

I just read a book called Alas, Babylon that was a “what if the russians had nuked us?” book written in the 60′s. I enjoyed it. It was not very scifi but focused on the fight for survival. It is a quick read if you are looking for something else in that vein.

One of my favourite books of recent years. I’ll probably see the movie, but early reviews have not been good, and I don’t really see it translating well into a movie. Theron’s role looks much bigger in the movie too, which dashes my hopes even further.

Nice review though. Looking forward to more.
