I suppose Oprah was suckered in because the story centers around a father and his son. That's easy enough to see. It is a pretty powerful read though. Like many post-apocalyptic stories it delves into issues of humanity and such, though you have to draw a lot of your own conclusions.

I enjoyed the story, though I wanted to know more about the world and how it came to be so post-apocalyptic. With seemingly no new plant life growing, it seems like any hope of survival is limited. Those two things kept bugging me through the story, but there weren't any answers. Apparently that's not the point (though it's still worth addressing).

I also found the lack of quote marks and apostrophes disturbing. Damn post-moderns.
