I have heard so many great things about this book. I only ever heard of it when I heard that Viggo Mortensen was in the movie based on this book. I didn't even watch the movie. So I thought that maybe this book will be as great as I had heard everyone said it would be. Well... it wasn't. I have read other post - apocalyptic books, granted they are either YA or zombie books (though I have read part of the Passage by Cronin) - so this book just fell flat for me.

The Reasons I did not like this book:
1. One of the reasons this might have happened is that I like it when a book actually explains how the world got like that. The Road did not.
2. The writing Style. I mean I do not mind experimental writing style but as there were nothing to tell us who said what, no quotes it was difficult to follow any conversations.
3. This book was sloooow. I can usually plow through a slow book if it at least had some interesting bits but this book didn't. Not for me.

I guess I'll just have to stick to my Zombie books when it comes to Post-apocalyptic books. This book just was not my cup of tea. So my rating for this book is 2.5
