The Road

As you all know I finished The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The story is rather haunting. A father and son travel to the coast not necessarily hoping to find anything but they know that they cannot survive the winter where they were. The style of writing was interesting, where the narrator has a seemingly infinite vocabulary and a distinct diction, and the characters are curt and repetitive. I think the ending is a fair compromise and accomplishes its function.
