Yeah, the handful of chapters I read were amazing, McCarthy's writing style really sells the post-apocalyptic vibe, so very blunt and to-the-point, almost like it's the writer saying "we're all fucked and I'm not going to sugar-coat it because there's no point anyway"

I didn't even have a bad case of pandemic depression, I've been lucky and these last few years have actually been really good to me, the pandemic and everything since have probably been the best years of my life, but I don't live in a bubble and The Road was not the right vibe to go with all of the bullshit in the world.
