Eh, I didn't really care for this one. I don't know what it was... Maybe the religious overtones and symbolism that went over my head didn't help. The story seemed all over the place... a dystopian thriller, a superficial native american tale, feel good family values story, idk. It just didn't work for me. The whole idea of evolution going backwards seemed whack and why the United States went cuckoo was not explained or examined. I guess I don't always need a believable backstory since I bought in to [b:The Road|6288|The Road|Cormac McCarthy|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1439197219s/6288.jpg|3355573] with no real explanation as to what went down in the past. So, I'm not sure what went wrong for me in this book.
