The instrumental is perfect for the mood of the book, Great Job!

@kidblink182 It's not written in the "mainstream" fashion, thus it is terribly written? People love the book because the emotional connection to the characters is transcendent, clearly you're missing something. Or trolling.

Saw the movie in London, was very sad, great movie but would not want to live through watching it a second time!

Book is great, movie is good. But in my opinion , Blood Meridian rapes The Road, scalps it, roasts it over a campfire and eats it before shitting it out at breakfast.

@alain19644u Reading The Road made me very disappointed in today's culture. So many readers raving over such a terribly written novel, with a story devoid of real feeling or meaning. It just doesn't make sense to me.

The movie was depressing and dark. It didn't give a glimmer of hope of better things to come. It showed a father and his son plodding through the dark times, one day at a time, encountering one horrible thing after another, ever on the edge of suicide. It didn't depict any community spirit of working together to survive and rebuild. It didn't depict methods of survival and rebuilding, other than the most mundane rummaging through other people's stuff for survival.

It didn't depict any community spirit of working together to survive and rebuild. The Colony series by the Discovery Channel is far more productive in terms of giving people tools and methods for surviving and working as a group and looking forward toward rebuilding of society. The Postman, featuring Kevin Costner, also depicted things getting better and rebuilding after a collapse, while also depicting some of the awful things we might have to face as a result of the collapse.
