The Road Ending

All in all I thought that the Road was an excellent book. It was by far my favorite book that we have read this semester. I am for sure going to go and see the movie when it comes out. It was much better than the Odyssey in my opinion. I also liked the video game project that we did. My group came up with some great ideas and made a great plot of a video game that related to the book. I was a little bit shocked when the father, who I guess remained nameless throughout the whole book, died, and at the same time I guess I kind of expected it to happen. I thought that the ending of the book made a good clincher to the book. I liked how it aloud the whole story just to end, or possibly have a sequel to it. Right after the man died I was thinking about what the boy would do. Part of me thought that he would be a goner, but then I thought about it and just didn’t believe that could happen. Then the man with the family came by to offer to take care of him. That put an end to my doubt. Although I thought an even better ending to the book would be the boy continuing down the road by himself right after he left the man. I think that ending would leave people wondering and create a good impact on the reader, but at the same time I’m sure that many readers were happy to see that the boy found a new family to live with. The Road was a great book and I hope that we will read more books like this one.
