Dear Mr. McCarthy:
I enjoyed your book. The movie adaptation was disappointing, but I'm sure that's not your fault. The book was very well written and balanced the themes of hope and disappointment perfectly. I noticed the unique style with which you wrote "The Road". The lack of apostrophes and peculiar method of writing dialogues added to the morbid theme of the book and really immersed the reader in the world that you created. Overall, I thought that the structure and style of the book were both great. I didn't enjoy the content of the book quite as much. It was very depressing and gave a very pessimistic view of what direction humanity is headed in. This book made me wonder: Do you think that our world is actually going to become like the world in the your book, or did you simply write this book for entertainment? Either way, you must have some negative feelings about humans in general. What exactly has led to these feelings that you have toward other people and do you think you have contributed to the destruction of the Earth? I'd like to learn more about your outlook on life and about your opinions on what life means. Hopefully, all of your views aren't in line with the themes that are found in "The Road". Continue to write books, but maybe try to write one about the good aspects of humanity. It can't be god to focus too deeply on the negative aspects of anything.
Sincerely,
Zachary Stuart
