I didn't like the road...I read it because it was the required book for English literature at college. I spent my time complaining about the awful grammar and the lack of names. I understand why they had no names but it got confusing when we were discussing the book in class. 
 It was horrible what happened in the book and while the plot was good the execution left much to be desired. Basically the world has been ruined and people can't find food so they have turned to cannibalism. This is the journey of a man and his son named the boy to symbolise the lack of identity anyone in this world has. 
 It is fantastic for symbolical interpretations that can be read on so many levels. If you like horror or apocalyptic futures give it a read but while I love dystopian and apocalyptic futures this book just didn't tick the boxes for me. 
 The ending left me annoyed since you don't actually know what happens and their are different interpretations of what happens.
