Can you say "Disturbing?" Disturbing. Yes, that is the word for this book. This book is short and well, not so sweet. I can sum up the story for you very quickly:
The earth has been destroyed
"Man" lives to take care of his "boy"
Man and boy scavenge for food
Man and boy hide from bad guys
Something that I can not tell you . . .
The End
I am NOT going to watch the movie.
You didn't like it? I LOVED it. I made my husband read it. And my brother-in-law, and my other brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law's girlfriend...
ReplyDeleteIt was dark. So I don't know why I liked it so much, but I did. And, yes, for days after, I felt like I was living in "their" world, which was weird, but I've come to expect taking on the life of those I read about. I just have to quickly find another book (a light, fluffy, romantic one) to delve into. I have to alternate heavy reading with light. Otherwise I might be crushed.
Yeah, I have no interest. It looks too bleak for me.
ReplyDeleteI totally had the same feeling, Andrea. I felt as though I was living in their world. It was such a wierd book.
ReplyDeleteDang, sounds very SCI- FI- ESC....

Then it's not for me...dark imagery never leaves my head, and upsets me for a long time to come.
