The Road Carmac McCarthy

I think this may have been the most relentlessly depressing book I have read in a long time. One of the book jacket reviews said you couldn't put it down because you felt that if you did the boy and his father would die. I'm not sure I agree, but I guess I agree with another statement; " it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and best we are capable of-two people alive in total devastation." It haunts you.
