]]> Comment on Book Review: The Road by Cormac McCarthy by B http://fightthefight.com/2010/02/book-review-the-road-by-cormac-mccarthy/#comment-291 B Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:31:15 +0000 http://fightthefight.com/?p=1355#comment-291 Cheers Iain. It looks like I appreciated most of the things you did, but the prose and certain stylistic choices just really bugged me throughout and still do. It just wasn't enough for me. With more time to think about it, it feels like some writing exercise that shouldn't have actually been a book... Write a book with no names... very little dialogue... ambiguous location... ambiguous time after an ambiguous event (or events) that kill off a lot of life on the planet... I commend him on the task that it must have been... But hey... At least we're discussing books and not Farmville or some crap... Cheers Iain.

Just because people use those terms to shorten the amount of time we have to say something doesn't mean they should take ownership of that verbal laziness.

I'm not even sure if it was set in the States was it? The fact that he never really said where it was as well as what had happened really appealed to me.. At that stage it didn't matter where and why. Do agree with you about the purprle prose though.. little bit much for my palette too.. I quite enjoyed the sparsity of the dialogue the characters are reduced to in their situation. Didn't stop me caring enough to read on towards the inevitable McCarthy ending!
