BTW, I was slightly disappointed with the Road, which is also being given the movie treatment, and am not sure it will be all that great on the big screen. It was well written, but overall I was bored with it and found much of it quite repetitive. I wonder what Oprah was thinking ($)($) when she added it to her book club.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I liked The Road a lot. Of course, I wanted to kill myself after I finished it...
I thought "the basement scene" was one of the most disturbing things I have ever read. That passage still haunts me.
I thought the father-son relationship was great and that's what kept me interested. The theme of a father that will do anything and everything to keep his son alive (in spite of the fact that there isn't much hope for long-term survival) was really well played out in the book.
Depending on the writer/director/actors, the movie could be pretty amazing.
