swizz1estick's review against another edition

Got about 40% through and it’s just not my kind of thing. Also the audiobook narrators’ child voice just made me hate the kid character.

5.0

Questo libro è un capolavoro che finisce istantaneamente nei preferiti. Una volta finito ( ma spesso anche durante la lettura ) ti lascia a fissare il soffitto pensieroso.
Tutto è perfetto in questo libro, la scrittura è impeccabile. È una scrittura secca, cupa, essenziale, non vengono neanche detti i nomi dei personaggi ma semplicemente uomo e bambino e ciò rispecchia il mondo post-apocalittico che viene descritto, dove niente ha più importanza se non sopravvivere. È talmente importante la sopravvivenza che porta a fenomeni di cannibalismo ma per l'uomo la vera importanza è il bambino, suo figlio. È un romanzo toccante, malinconico che ti angoscia tramite la descrizione di questo mondo non tanto lontano dal nostro. Con queste guerre in corso mi ha fatto veramente riflettere sul dove stiamo arrivando con questa società. 

Lo rileggerei mille volte
