The Road

I'll be honest, I thought the book was pretty good - the simplistic prose with occasional glimmers of beauty used to capture the bleak emptiness of the world - but then I saw a negative review and was a little won over by it. Maybe I was just fooled by McCartney. Tricked by sparse prose into thinking the book was better than it really was. Hoodwinked into thinking the repetitive plot was very clever even though I didn't get it.

It's definitely possible and I can't shake that feeling, so I have to call this book average.

I'll tackle Blood Meridian one day, from some glances at it I think that one is much more undeniable in its brilliance.
