Query: Boring plus lame ending = bad book

This very well might be the worst book I have read this year. I heard the hype and read most of the books the critics rave about. This was one where they are dead wrong.The story, and writing, is simple, a post-apocolypse United States. We have no idea why the world is at this point, nor will you ever know. It is irrelavant to this story. It is merely a boy and a father trying to walk to a more suitable climate. As for the dialouge, while it often draws nice moral lessons, it is reduntant and after a while the give and take between father-son becomes painfully boring. Son asks questions, dad has some of the answers. Yippy!!The end is as lame as you get. I could not believe it when it was over. I felt so ripped off.If you like books with 3 paragraph section breaks because your attention span cannot handle more, this may be for you. Other than that, avoid the Road. It is breakdown of the highest proportions
