“Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.

This book just wasn't for me, and it was really hard to finish it. It started well, but quickly got repetitive and annoying.
I can't understand why there are no speech marks or apostrophes, either. I mean, I know it's supposed to add to the atmosphere of the book, but really? Ignoring basic grammar to create realism? Nah. No thank you.
One of the saddest books I've read in a long time. It is a book full of saddness, loss, despair, death and just a drop of hope.
if you're in an apocalypse... please drop your morals and just eat dead people like everyone else
if i was in an apocalypse i would simply not let someones death be in vain and imma EAT. Like damn give me that femur bone and let me nibble at it
