However, after reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road", I'd have to say Children of Men would almost be like a trip to Disneyland in comparison. Both had similar settings in a post Apocalyptic future. "The Road" would have to have been the bleakest book I've ever read, and as black as its cover. Once you get use to the authors writing style and lack of standard punctiation, it was a disturbingly good read. A father and son are two of the last survivors on a scorched planet, struggeling to survive. While hiding from cannibals, and being unable and unwilling to help any other survivors they encounter, doing what they must to survive, the boy repeatadly asks his father "We're still the good guys, right?" "Yes, we're the good guys." While I would recommend it, if I had to choose a world to live in I'd choose Children of Men's. I did see this movie a while back, and did like it alot.
