I love discussing this book with other readers. I've found it's 50-50 love it vs. hate it! I really liked this book; I found the simple writing carried me through the end-of-the-world tale of a boy and his father. The simple details made me want for more ... and there are so many ways to interpret the ending. I'm interested to see how the movie version will turn out though; I just can't see this book translating to film.
