"The Road" What fathers are supposed to do

[TommyPain]

In the dark fictional story of survival during a nuclear Winter, a father and son struggle together to survive starvation, freezing to death, disease, and death by marauding bands of sadistic cannibal killers.

The man's wife gives in to despair early in the story and cuts her throat, but the father hangs on to life despite his deteriorating lungs from the constant ash of a dead world. He protects and keeps his son harm and the hopelessness that kills more and more survivors. So how does God compare as a father to his kids, the human race? He abandoned us instantly to all the worst harm that could happen to us at the first sign of trouble. One reason there could be no God as commonly concieved by most religions

I read the review in the New York Times. I think I'm not going to buy this book, because I find it so unbelievably upsetting in so many ways.

I have a nine-year-old girl, and the idea of having to raise her in the nightmare world described in the review of the book pained me beyond words. I'm sure it's a tremendous read, but I can't go near it.

With nuclear proliferation, with Iran building weapons of mass destruction and hurling intercontinental ballistic bombast, when I live right near New York City, world's biggest target, I often genuinely fear that Wallis will not live to reach adulthood.

So you'll pardon me if I don't choose a book on a similar subject as a form of entertainment. I'd rather try to find ways to give her hope.
