Rezension von JenayExtremely engaging and beautifully written. McCarthy understand grief on a deep level. How else could he act as poet and novelist in one with excerpts like this: “Everything uncoupled from its shoring. Unsupported in the ashen air. Sustained by a breath, trembling and brief. If only my heart were stone.” Yet even with this twisting of sentence formation and pensive thoughts, he still twists a story that can be accessible to almost anyone. Some warnings: there are horrific things that happen but nothing is described in gory detail.
Rezension von NayeliThis is the first book I read from this author, and sure won't be the last. The story is very moving, a father and a son trying to survive. Cormac writes in such a way that you can't stop reading every page you want to know what's going to happen to these guys. Is the first book in years that made me weep. I tried to imagine the desperation of the man, I felt for the boy. You can feel their love and just wish the make it to a safe place.
