One thing for sure, the way Mr.Cormac wrote the book is very unique. Yet, I’m still trying to understand where will he lead me with his book?

This book is very tiring, as it tells about a father and son’s journey. At the beginning I didn’t understand why on earth they did this kind of journey? then I understood. The whole point is the father is dying. But actually there are several things I didn’t get:

1.In which part of the earth they did the journey that they hardly met any single human beings?

2.What’s the point of taking his son if the father ended up dying and left his son? I mean, if the father knew he was dying..why not took his son to someone else?

3.I believe Mr.Cormac wrote a beautiful story in The Road (although it’s hard for me to find the beautifulness in here), but Mr.Cormac did a very very terrible job in the writing part. The way he spelled the word is very very poor. He neglected small things like:
he wrote “can’t”–cant.
