The Road was the absolute WORST book I have ever read. A cookbook is more exciting.

I read The Road yesterday while on a plane escaping the Snowpocalypse in DC. I thought the book was overpriced but still a good read.
Decisions of who the father shoots or not (Papa and boy are the "Good Guys")
Will the father kill his boy if their situation becomes hopeless?
Will the son shoot himself if he loses his Papa?
That stuff got me emotional.

"...burnt out world where nothing grows, no more fish or game & no sun. Gray rain and snow almost everyday. And the very few people left (it's been years since the event happened) are hunters for other humans to eat."
I'd have a problem in suspending belief, to accept that scenario. I can enjoy a far-fetched story if the underlying scenario is credible.
Had there been an all-out nuke exchange between the US and the USSR during the Cold War, the northern hemisphere might well have been pretty much uninhabitable. But if it were that bad, folks couldn't survive on cannibalism alone. Not possible. And, after some years, the climate would begin regression toward the mean and people would begin to move into the "Burned Lands" as people always will.
Credibility of the underlying scenario...

A good percentage of people that contribute information on this web site
can hunt. They can field dress/prep and cook what they hunt.
I imagine that the livestock and the wild animals were eaten in the first
couple years after whatever happened to the earth took place.
The climate changed to the point where free running animals died.
I now really understand just how important it is to have the right to
own a rifle or handgun.
When the time comes and you become the hunted, you will really appreciate
the Mini 14 you own and that stash of ammo.
Harsh language and pepper spray won't mean a thing.
