The Road is disturbing for its realism and heartbreaking for the demonstration of love between the father and son. The struggle to survive, to protect, and to be charitable demonstrates a larger truth about life. The characters feel so real, and the bleak future described seems all too possible in Cormac McCarthy's hands.
