The road

After I have read about 20 pages into the book The Road by Cormac McCarthy I feel that this book has a very dark, gloomy, distraught type of mood.  This is due to the words like ratty and desolate that are used throughout the book.  Also I feel the father wants to do everything that he can to protect his young son who has his whole life ahead of him.  I could say that I like and dislike the book for many or several reasons.  The reasons I like the book is because it has a sense of adventure, in the two people travelling to try and reach exile from this post apocalyptic world. Also, I feel it has I sense of suspense in the fact that you never know what could happen next and the father is carry around a pistol for defense.  Someone could come out of nowhere and attack them for their goods.  The reasons I don’t like this book is because it is very kind of dark and gloomy and it progresses very slowly or not at all.  I feel it gets repeated a lot what’s going on because the father and son and in an apocalyptic world and are scared and don’t know what to do.
