Why do you feel that he barely explains things and has atrocious dialogue? |
When I read The Road, I had barely any clue what was going on (I knew some war thing happened, but what caused it and what were they doing at certain parts?) and the diologue got on my nerves with how they seemed to say the same few words over and over again, and after a while, I just wnated to hear them say something else. In many ways, it reminded me of Book of Eli, with it's post-apocalyptic story and lack of explanation for anything, but that's just me.
