Paula Nevins asked this question about The Road:

Would you say this book is appropriate for a 15 year old boy? He needs something for an English essay that he can read independently and compare to its movie version. Thoughts or recommendations on something better would be appreciated.

Although there are still many people who do not favor the book. I on the other hand urge others to read it. This book contains many attributes that appeal to many readers’ interests.

This book contains a story of a father and his son who travel down a road through a post-apocalyptic America. Their chances of survival are slim. The world is full of many dangers. Every day of survival is a questionable accomplishment, and the more you read, the more rattled you will be. As you continue through the book, you begin to question if they will continue to survive or be extinguished. This book also reveals the son’s survival without his father. The devastation of the separation of the might duo impacted the momentum of the book. However, the son surprisingly continues to survive and tries to accomplish what his father could not witness. Find the pure souls left in the treacherous world. The storyline, however, is not the only remarkable attribute contribution that appeals the readers’ interests.

Cormac McCarthy also filled this book with many literary qualities to keep this book interesting from start to finish. He uses a variety of sentence types to control the tone of the story and to keep readers hooked on and want to read more. McCarthy also fills this book with many emotions and events that leaves readers stunned and full of mixed emotions. His writing techniques will leave you so amazed that you will want to spread the greatness of this book to everyone you know.

This book has many qualities that leave its readers stunned and satisfied. Its many satisfied readers urge others to read this book and I am one of the satisfied readers. I recommend this book to you. So put down all other books. Delete every single suggestions you have. Because this book must be read by you. And I guarantee that you will enjoy it as much as I did.(less)
