The Road-Traveled Again

Okay, intro down now for the actual book. The Road centers around an unnamed father and his son in a post-apocalyptic world. It is never truly stated what happened to the world but it is described as being scorched and covered in ash so my guess is some kind of nuclear fallout. This would also help to explain why the days and nights are so bitterly cold, nuclear fallout bringing about nuclear winter. There are several reasons i like the story. The first of which is that it moves along quickly. Each new paragraph is basically a new part in the story so it is always moving forward. Another reason i really like story is because of how it paints the landscape that it is very vivid despite how dull it is. Your told how the world is dusty and covered in ash and the garages and homes that they come across are dilapidated but other than that it is all up to imagination.The last thing i like about the book is how it creates feelings of sadness in the reader. The simple conversations between the father and the son evoke basic feelings of sadness and this is something that a book does not commonly do.
