This book kicked my ass. |
Finished the last pages last night. It's one of those reads you just can't put down. McCarthy took me on a completely frightening post-apocalyptic journey. I lived inside the souls of this father and son, tripping through the lifeless terrain, groping in the dark, completely terrified by a Godless landscape.
Its brilliance was in the contrast: a treacherous world so beautifully written; love and devotion against a completely hopeless backdrop; the will to survive when everything else that surrounds is completely devoid of life.
So utterly brilliant. I was equally crushed and inspired. This book kicked my ass.
