The book is stunning. I liked the movie The Road, too, and it is rare that I like movie adaptions. (It's hard to "like" such subject matter, but I imagine you know what I mean.) The book is rather short and the movie doesn't miss too much. I love the little nuances in the writing of the book. For instance, there are no chapters. It gives a feel to the story of constant awareness, constant searching, constant danger. There are no breaks, because the Man can never take a break if he wants him and his Boy to survive. It really is a remarkable literary work, and it thoroughly deserved it's Pulitzer.
