Fantastic book. Oprah did an interview with McCarthy that was pretty interesting. You can find it, and info about the book on her Book Club page for The Road.

McCarthy's writing style took a little getting used to, but there is something about it that lingers in your mind after you put it down.

It requires the reader to stay focused on the words or you'll miss profound passages before you realize it, so make sure you commit when you sit down to read. It's not something you want to read when you may find your mind wandering.

It's what I want a book to be, but my next read will be something a little more light.

I'm eager to see what they do with the movie.
