The Road - Cormac McCarthy

When I started this book I found the writing style annoying - it struck me as the author letting technique get in the way of storytelling. But then I grew used to it and it didn't bother me, and I got absorbed in the story. I haven't seen the movie but I had heard good things about the book for a while and I see why it got so much praise. I'm actually not sure if I'd watch the movie but I'm glad I read the book.
