The Story so Far.... Summary
So far the road is about a father and his son on a journey throughout a destroyed apocalyptic world. They're current goal is to head south in order to avoid the winter and survive. Although they have met multiple other people trying to survive the winter they are the only two characters that stick to the story. The two main characters currently are Father and son, I don´t think we have gotten their name with what I have read so far, although I am only half way thought the book. The setting changes all the time (a forest, a large river, a abandoned gas station) whereas the main idea of the setting is a apocalyptic wasteland. This is the first dystopian book I have read. When people hear dystopian some people think of a large city with political corruption and ridiculous rules. This dystopian book is more unique in that sense because in this case there is no government or ridiculous rules, in fact, there are no rules and everyone is trying to survive. So far I have enjoyed everything about this book except for the fact that it is sometimes hard to see who is talking considering they don´t add in quotation marks or say this person said etc. Besides that it is a great read. Similarities The book does indeed take place on earth but there has been a cataclysm to the point where the earth is a complete wasteland. The book does not have a time period although the book was written in 2006 by the author Cormac McCarthy. I will comment on Mariah P. & Max M.

You are at a great part of the book, but up ahead some disturbing moments happen, beware of those! I also completely agree with you on the dystopian setting. I have barely read books that don't have a main setting or structure and it's fascinating to read how it impacts our characters and how they use their surroundings in the story. Great blog, can't wait to hear your update!

You are at a very interesting part in the book, since it is at the part where they haven't met anyone but they are still surviving and struggling to find supplies.
