The searing, postapocalyptic novel destined to become Cormac McCarthy's masterpiece. A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food-and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.©2006 Cormac McCarthy (P)2006 Recorded Books Belletristik Coming of Age Saga Science Fiction

I couldn't have imagined a better narrator, simply perfect, for all characters.
I understand now why Cormac McCarthy got such high praise for this book. The story telling is so well written, so real and touching.

Amazingly written, perfectly read

Tom Stechschulte narrating is the true Cormac McCarthy audiobook experience. Would have loved to hear him read Suttree. McCarthy slam dunks the apocalypse genre by creating a disaster too horrible to describe. The novels strength lies in its way of inviting the listener into speculating about the negative space left unexplained.

Second favorite McCarthy novel

A gripping story I could not put down, even when I was annoyed by all the “it’s Ok” and “I don’t know” and “I am sorry”. As a reader you are at the mercy of the author who has the power to let things happen to the ones you identify with and thereby wields a strange power over you.

Gripping

Although I found the story hauntingly bleak, it left me full of unreasonable hope. This is probably due to the love and spirituality shining its "fire" through all the grey, dark and evil reality of the heroes. In spite of the reading carried out in a (I have to say fittingly) monotonous tone, the book captivated me.
A small issue: the recording has some looping passages that needed to be edited out. maybe this is why it was given for free.

Bleak but very spiritual. Captivating.

I liked the way the narrator played the roles just enough to make it easy to understand who is speaking, but not too much as to sound theatrical. Also, the book is great.

Great book, great delivery
