- You don’t have a name, or if you do, you don’t use it often enough so it gets confusing when you converse with other people (who may or may not have names).
- You take creative license with contractions.
- Life is tough … and then something really, really bad happens to you.
- You don’t speak in quotes, so your conversations may be hard to follow.

“The Road” is written
With beautiful prose looking
Over ugly worlds.

I wrote about this book recently. I like what you said better
Thank you, Bits-n-Books! I loved this book. Your review is much better for anyone who actually wants a review!
Thanks for reading!
I really enjoyed this book, but not as much as “The Crossing.” That one is in my top five favorites from any author of any time.
I’ll have to check that one out. I read All the Pretty Horses (liked it so much I gave a copy to my pop), so I figured I should get around to the rest of that trilogy.
Thanks for checking out the post and, most of all, thanks for commenting!
