So don't agree with that, The Road being a favourite of mine. It is a deeply felt exploration of a father trying to protect his son in the most horrible circumstances. It packs a massive punch.
Oops! I just ordered it. But thank you for your input and suggestion! I saw No Country for Old Men as a starter. I'm pretty tough but we will have to see what happens.
