I’ve been reading (trying to) the highly acclaimed post apocalyptic novel, *The Road* for more than a month, and i could push myself to sit through only 30% so far. I just don’t see any appeal to keep at it. Even in the 1/3 of the book I read so far, any page or paragraph just feels like the previous one. I don’t see the plot really progressing at all. And also the writing was strange. The sentence structure was weird, and at many places, he refers the same person in different ways in the same sentence.
I tried to look at old posts about this book where people loved it. I get it but i also don’t feel it myself. I’m probably too dumb to see any meaning in the plot and prose that millions of others who loved the book do.
It’s a pity because it’s a short book too, but I can’t seem to convince myself to continue with it any longer.

No Country For Old Men was much better. I like all the run on sentences
