A bit underwhelming. I started out liking the writing style but it got old very fast. The simplicity does make the parts that are well written stand out more. I just wish everything about this was done at a higher caliber and less reserved. The themes explored are pretty standard for post apocalyptic stories, but The Road doesn't take them any further than the basic presentation of them. My expectations were for something a bit more thought provoking.
