The Road

Ok, So I was flipping through the channels the other day and ran across this movie called The Road. And I started to think about how pissed off that I was that I wasted my time reading that book. I turned the channel right away without any hesitation because this was the most boring book I ever read and then they turned it into the most boring movie I ever saw. Please someone tell me why this book was so popular. Was it because one guy read it and then felt so duped that he passed it to his friend. "Hey man you got to read this book it's really good." Then that guy thought oh man this book is boring but Dave said it was good so I guess there must be something good that I didn't get. I better say it's really good so people don't think I'm stupid. And it just kept getting passed along like that. Then some Hollywood smart ass hipster decided to make it into a movie. What a fucking boring movie. The trailers were even boring. I thought all trailers were supposed to be exciting.


Well I'm not ashamed... maybe I'm stupid but I know what I like and it wasn't that book or that movie. It was capital "B" boring. Nothing happened in it. They just kept walking and walking and walking and then the dad died. By the way I'm a big crier, and if this book was trying to hit an emotional cord it wasn’t able to accomplish that either. I will cry at movies, books, even some commercials every now and then. Nope, this book didn’t even squeeze a tear out of me. It didn't stir one emotional note in my in my over grown heart. I've cried more over a Maxwell house coffee commercial. The Road was just plain depressing. Am I alone in this boat or are their people out there that feel the same way?

If you read this book and liked it please let me in on the hype. What did you like about this book? And if your name is Marc, I don't want to hear it, because you are the dumbass that told me it was good and to read it in the first place.
