And not so much because I was sad, but mostly because this book, to me, is a story about hope and love set in a dark, bleak world of unspeakable destruction. It seems I am always late to the table when finding a great book; I have never discovered one on my one, but have to be persuaded to read many a book that I eventually fall in love with. The Road is one of them. I heard of it and thought that I couldn't stand to read a post-apocalyptic book that was starts with a premise of hopelessness and ends less so....... Those who know me know I like a good upturn of events in a book - romance before tragedy unless it's Shakespeare - I always say. The Road is poignant and sweet and terrible.
Read it so we can talk about it!
