The Road books

[ZeroDamage]

I read this book a couple of months ago. I will try and give a brief synopsis without giving a spoiler. The book is about a father and his son after what is apparently a nuclear war. The earth is now in a nuclear winter, there is no food, and everyone is trying to survive. It is the decision of the father not to eat his son that makes him different from just about everyone else. There is nothing supernatural about the book but it will scare the crap out of you.

 

It is the kind of book that will make you think about it long after you've read it. Even now, almost two months later I remember everything about the book and I wonder how I would survive with my family if there were no more grocery stores.

OH yeah, there is apparently a movie in the works about this. From what I've read, it should be fairly dead on accurate. I look forward to seeing it.

I love about every apocolyptic or post apoctolyptic story I've ever read. I will check this one out. My favs are 'The beach' (cant remember the author) and 'the stand' (stephen king)... anyone else have favs?
