The Road is a tedious journey to nowhere. The characters are one-dimensional with no personality. I loved the premise thats why I attempted the book, however it was a huge disappointment. They journey to the coast because I don't know?, avoiding certain people because I dont know, cannibals? right? No background to the story and no future either. Just the road. So if you want to travel down the road with a no name man and boy, hope you like poor grammar and sentence structure as well as big holes in the story that will leave you annoyed or even pissed off that you attempted what should have been a good story of a father's love for his son. It left me cold.
