Quite a devastating story. Can be very bleak, and spends its time showing how dismal the burned world is. I really enjoyed the way McCarthy takes breaks from prose in some points to give what feels like poetry. Can reread many of those passages over and over.
Great. Very haunting. I love how the dystopian setting acts more as just a backdrop to the main story, and just accentuates a lot of the same feelings most of us experience regarding love and death.
Very funny and dark. Konnegut moves freely through many, many ideas throughout with a surreal, but also very grounded perspective.
Many great reflections on life, good and evil, and human nature. Also a fascinating snapshot of the turn of the century in the US. Feels like a must read for anyone
