Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece is the story of an unnamed man and his boy as they travel across a post-apocalyptic United States. There are no animals to be seen anywhere, the entire land is burnt and covered with ash, corpses are lying everywhere, and survival is very unlikely. The man and boy are no exception. They travel south in the hopes of finding food and protection from the dangers of the outside, the worst being the people. Starvation has driven them mad with hunger turning them in cannibals. A true horror story. The man does everything to keep his son safe and the boy will always remain loyal to his father. All they have is each-other and whatever supply they carry. I read this book and couldn't put it down because of all the horror and suspense. It will keep you guessing and you will be shocked at all the horror McCarthy sends into you mind. I give it a 4.5/5 and recommend it to anyone over the age of sixteen. Anyone younger might not be able to handle it. The question is can you?
