I really think that this book is a simple story but written so well. Father and son walking along burned America who have nothing except each other, a cart of scavenged food and a pistol trying to survive. It wasn’t explained in the book what exactly happened but I like the idea of it not being told.
This left me asking myself questions like how will I react if I were in the same situation? Am I strong enough to endure the same? How much did the father value his life and his son’s? Why did he choose to go on despite of the hopelessness of the situation? Are people naturally good or bad?
I can’t express myself more in writing about what else I think about this book, however, few books can make me feel and think so much. And this just did.

People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn’t believe in that. Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them. It didn’t even know they were there.
Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.
Keep a little fire burning; however small, however hidden.
