The Road

So this book was really good. Which does not make any sense since there is very little action, drown out confusing dialog and a very bleek kind of atmosphere throught the story. However for some reason I really liked it.

The boy had it too easy, he found some people that were good right away and they took care of him. Kinda wierd how that just happened to be. Not sure if i like the idea of that, maybe if he had fought for himself for a bit and found a commune to take him in. That would seem a little bit more believable. In the end though it was a great book. Hopefully the movie will be as good

Still Life

So far this is a really good book, I'm starting to like the detective style narrative. However the relationship with Peter and his wife is not interesting to me in the slightest. I hope that is a side plot and does not take over or interact with the main plot of the book. If it does I might have to go back and re-read some parts....Really do not want to do that. As for trying to fiure out who the killer is, I'm thinking the reader is pointed towards Bernard, but I will say it is Jean's niece. I think she fits the budget, and it puts a sight twist at the end. Nothing to obvious, but a little one to suprise the reader.
