I was somewhat distracted at first by his unusual writing style, but after the first chapter or so I started to really enjoy it. I've already passed the book along to my dad to read.

I can't believe I took out a book from the library based on a review on this site, and despite the Oprah recommendation. But I was riveted. A very quick, yet thoughtful, read.

I'm so glad I did. What a fascinating read! I devoured in two sittings.

The only other McCarthy book I've read is BLOOD MERIDIAN, which was a bit horrible (it's about scalping, basically) but also compelling and stark and austere. Though perhaps not as awesome as THE ROAD. Glad you liked it!
