The Road by McCarthy?

Question

I have to finish the book by Monday and I just can't get into it. All i know is that they walk around forever and see all the destruction and sutff....

I just cant get into it. What are the main points or anything interesting that happens in the story?

Answer 1

You're really missing out - it took me awhile to get into it too, especially since it's not broken up into chapters (similar to a neverending road, eh?). The first fifty pages or so took me about two weeks to get through (no lie) but after that I stayed up all night and finished it in one sitting. The best modern book I've read in years.

Still, if you aren't going to read it, here's Wikipedia:

Hope I convinced you to read and, if not, where to find the answers. Have a good day.
