Query: Boy, am I in the minority on this one...

As I write this, there are 1,700 reviews posted for this book. Only 167 of us, now 168, hated it enough to give it only one star. I found it so boring, repetitious, grim and hopeless that it was a physical and psychic struggle to stick it out to the end. (An end in which, for no credible reason given what came before, "hope" actually makes a cameo appearance.) I have read no other Cormac productions, and seen no films made from his novels, but after this endurance contest, I am not inclined to give him another chance. Over the decades, I have read several other novels depicting a post-World War III world, or a post-catastrophic natural disaster environment, and there have been a handful of films on the same themes. All of the other efforts were more enjoyable than this. I cannot understand what Mr. McCarthy was thinking, yet his effort got him a Pulitzer. Surely, that was given for his entire body of work, not this waste of time.
