I had a great time with The PestHouse. Mostly, I think, because it was nowhere near as emtionally wrenching as The Road...
True. Although I never could figure out where the heck they were going.
i always thought the father had no clue, just the deep-seated belief that when they got 'there', he would know, his son would be safe. he believed that as fervently as his wife belived the opposite.
a lot of cormac's work is tough, but this hit several raw nerves with me...
