For those that don't know about it or understand; rough plot synopsis:
World had nuclear (or something) war and has little to no hope for recovery, just totally dead across the board.
Because basically nothing grows, people scavenge for food, including each other...
Depravity is the rule, not the exception - NOTHING is off limits, and this book doesn't shy away from that. Children are not safe; they're food, or worse.
Throughout this all, one man has been protecting and raising his son to be the "good guys". That's what this book is about - how, even in the literal worst possible world, there can still be the unbreakable bond between father and son.
It's indescribable, and it isn't for everyone, but I think most of the folks around here would or could read it and get a lot out of it.
I see you've read The Road too?
Gotta be one of my favorite books.
