The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I just submitted a book review at Amazon for Cormac McCarthy's book The Road. I had a chance to read it during my trip to the UK recently. Here it is:

I'll confirm what I've read elsewhere here that The Road is dark. And it's almost unrelentingly dark. I won't go any further in that descriptive direction lest I get into giving too much of the sense of the story away. It's not an easy read, but it's a memorable one. I haven't read anything else like it. The Road was my first Cormac McCarthy book. So I don't know if his others are in anyway similar. Also, the writing style is unique and took getting used to early on. I gave it four stars, because it is well written, a deep story in terms of the characters's thoughts and their relationships, and I was kept interested in how the story would turn out. I held off giving it five stars, because the story was a bit limited.
