The Road by Cormac McCarthy

The Road is the very last Cormac McCarthy book I will be reading. I’ve read two books of his so far (No Country for Old Men was the first one) and I was not happy with either one. The Road is screaming with reviews about how wonderful the book is, but I was very disappointed. Again Mr. McCarthy lacks puncuation, character development, and I’ve seen more plot details in the trailer of a movie!

The Road won the Pulitzer Prize, but I guess Mr. Pulitzer and I don’t see eye to eye, because I thought this book sucked. I’m left with the sense that Cormac writes better movies than he does books. So I’ll be sure and watch the movie coming out in November, but the book was boring and lacked depth of plot and character.
