I am still reading The Road, and lately it has been getting more and more depressing. I find my self feeling terrified for the boy and his father. Just recently in the book they came upon a gang of cannibals. One of them grabbed the boy, but the father shot him, and they fled into the forest. Fortunately, they escaped but there is the ever present fear of the rest of the gang. Also I learned that the mother of the boy killed herself (before they saw the cannibals) because she thought that the cannibals would in the end rape and kill them anyway. This book is becoming darker, and darker, and unfortunately I there does not seem to be a happy ending in sight.
