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.
Hilarious. This book is packed full with so many great jokes and outlandish situations, but it also can hit emotionally when it wants to. There’s a lot of truth here, not a lot of facts, and it’s great throughout.
