The Road - Cormac McCarthy

""The Road" is a profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire", were sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, "The Road" is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation."


"The boy was frozen with fear. He pulled him to him. It's alright, he said. We have to run. Don't look back. Come on...
... The boy fell and he pulled him up. It's alright, he said. Come on."


"I always believe you."
"I don't think so."
"Yes, I do. I have to."


I think this is a masterpiece.
