The Road # 5

Ok, well so far I am very pleased with the book because it is very captivating because of all the twists in the text as well as jumps in emotion such as when they walk in on the prisoners being held until they are eventually eaten which was shocking. To the moment when he walks over the hatch to the bomb shelter with all the food and water and essentials which was very uplifting to me. Events like this keep a reader like me and I don't know about anyone else, but it keeps me interested. But, moments like the father shooting the trucker in the head to save his son even though I thought it was cool and all, I found it a bit unnessecary, I don't think the trucker would have even noticed them hiding in the brush, they should have just lied still instead of overreacting. Lastly, I find it very annoying that the boy is scared of everything, for example, he was afraid of going into the dad's old house, he was afraid of going in the mansion and lastly which is the dumbest of them all was when he was afraid of going down into the bomb shelter even though clearly nothing bad was going to happen. Also, It's getting kind of annoying when the boy always asks for confirmation on something over and over again until the point where you just want to hit him. In conclusion, that's what I think so far.
