Reviews
"His tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful. It might very well be the best book of the year, period." -San Francisco Chronicle "Vivid, eloquent . . .The Roadis the most readable of [McCarthy's] works, and consistently brilliant in its imagining of the posthumous condition of nature and civilization." -The New York Times Book Review "One of McCarthy's best novels, probably his most moving and perhaps his most personal." -Los Angeles Times Book Review "Illuminated by extraordinary tenderness. . . . Simple yet mysterious, simultaneously cryptic and crystal clear. The Road offers nothing in the way of escape or comfort. But its fearless wisdom is more indelible than reassurance could ever be." -The New York Times "No American writer since Faulkner has wandered so willingly into the swamp waters of deviltry and redemption. . . . [McCarthy] has written this last waltz with enough elegant reserve to capture what matters most." -The Boston Globe "There is an urgency to each page, and a raw emotional pull . . . making [The Road] easily one of the most harrowing books you'll ever encounter. . . . Once opened, [it is] nearly impossible to put down; it is as if you must keep reading in order for the characters to stay alive. . . .The Roadis a deeply imagined work and harrowing no matter what your politics." -Bookforum "We find this violent, grotesque world rendered in gorgeous, melancholic, even biblical cadences. . . . Few books can do more; few have done better. Read this book." -Rocky Mountain News "A dark book that glows with the intensity of [McCarthy's] huge gift for language. . . . Why read this? . . . Because in its lapidary transcription of the deepest despair short of total annihilation we may ever know, this book announces the triumph of language over nothingness." -Chicago Tribune "The love between the father and the son is one of the most profound relationships McCarthy has ever written." -The Christian Science Monitor "The Roadis a wildly powerful and disturbing book that exposes whatever black bedrock lies beneath grief and horror. Disaster has never felt more physically and spiritually real." -Time "The Roadis the logical culmination of everything [McCarthy]'s written." -Newsweek "It's hard to think of [an apocalypse tale] as beautifully, hauntingly constructed as this one. McCarthy possesses a massive, Biblical vocabulary and he unleashes it in this book with painterly effect. . . .The Roadtakes him to a whole new level. . . . It will grip even the coldest human heart." -The Star-Ledger(Newark) "McCarthy is a gutsy, powerful storyteller. . . . The writing throughout is magnificent." -Chicago Sun-Times "Devastating. . . . McCarthy has never seemed more at home, more eloquent, than in the sere, postapocalyptic ash land ofThe Road. . . . Extraordinarily lovely and sad. . . . [A] masterpiece." -Entertainment Weekly "His most compelling, moving and accessible novel sinceAll the Pretty Horses. . . . McCarthy brilliantly captures the knife edge that fugitives in a hostile world stand on. . . . Amid this Godot-like bleakness, McCarthy shares something vital and enduring about the boy's spirit, his father's love and the nature of bravery itself." -USA Today, "His tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master.

- k***c (3695)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI don't usually leave negative feedback but my experience was bad enough where I felt the need to. Seller packaged my 3 items poorly so they all arrived damaged. I sent the buyer a message stating what happened and I received no answer. I had to open a return case and they was quick to accept it. The return delivered back to them and 6 days went by with no refund. I sent another message and once again, no answer. Had to open a case with Ebay to finally get my refund. Awful communicationReply from: dahec74- Feedback replied to by seller dahec74.- Feedback replied to by seller dahec74.I normally do not respond to reviews. But honestly, we received these items back and they were in perfect condition, just as we sent them. I have been selling on multiple channels since 2005 and sometimes mistakes happen, as a seller, I always own the mistake, refund the sale, and move on. This is an unfair review. Hopefully our record of good sales speaks for itself.LEGO Ideas 21336 - The Office - New & Sealed w/ Excellent Packaging! (#387744487076)
