I don't even know what to say really. I just feel hollow. I want to know so much more, I want to know there names for a start, it seems cruel that I spent a whole book caring such an insane amount about whether the characters survived and I don't even know there names, but I guess that's the point, the whole thing is cruel. I want to see the rest of the boy's life, I want reassurance that he'll be happy one day and he won't starve or be eaten or shoot himself. I want to know if the world gets better or if humanity just keeps dwindling away. I want to know if the man and the woman are kind to the boy and if he's allowed to cry there. I want to know if there's any hope. I want to know there's something better. I want all the people in the cellar to escape. I need so much more from that book. But I think if we got anymore then it wouldn't be so incredible

Watched the movie. Cried.

Listed to the bootleg audiobook narrated by Elmer Fudd. Did not cry.

That's the magic of Cormac Mccarthy where you feel like hitting a brick wall when you finish reading. He makes an allusion to the life itself where nothing matters.
