Dear Mr. McCarthy,
I really enjoyed your book The Road. It started off a little slow but when I got towards the middle of the book, I could not seem to put it down. The way you developed the bond between the man and the son was fascinating. As the man is dying towards the end, it felt like I could feel what the boy was feeling. That is how well you were able to developed the characters.
When I was approaching the end of the book, I did not want it to end. The journey was so interesting and the obstacles they encountered kept me at the edge of my seat. How did you do it? I ask myself that quite often. You created a world we do not know yet and situations that most of us have not experienced before yet you make it seem so real and plausible.
I know some people will not agree with me, but the dark and pessimistic aspect of the book is what makes it good. It would not have been as good if more good stuff happened to the travelers than bad stuff. The unfortunate events is what makes the reader want to read on. You did a very good job with this book and I will definitely try to read your other pieces of literature.
Your New Fan,
Rich
It's definitely a series of unfortunate events, literally.
