Query: Lackluster prose

After plodding my way through this novel,I too am in full agreement with those who gave it low marks. The repetitiveness as others have commented on nearly compelled me to abandon the novel at midpoint. At times I would flashback to my Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' whilst in mid dialog. The difference here is that it worked for Beckett but not for McCarthy. I too agree that his other writings kept me spellbound. Thus the disappointment when I anticipated the same from 'The Road.'
