Good book, i try to tell my friends to read it but they laugh at me because it has an oprah book club stamp on it. Thanks Oprah. It should be a good movie. the book is a quick read so it should translate well without leaving many details out. As long as the director and actors know what they are doing

If Viggo plans to be in this then it should be good! Plus a little of Charlize can't hurt.

My girlfriend and I were driving home from Portland,OR Friday 5/9 and drove through the filming of this movie. It was very unexpected because we were just taking the scenic route home. It will be great to see the area in the movie. I guess they were there at Horsetail Falls for 1 week.

I read The Road before Oprah decided that it was cool enough for her book club. This is not a horror novel at all. The cannibals are that way because of having no food in this desolate world, not radioactivity. This is more about the human condition, the lengths that we would go to for those we love. The book brought me to tears. I would be quite interested in seeing this translated to the big screen.

Yeah I'm not an oprah fan either but I've stumbled across a few of her "book club" books, and I have to admit that they usually kicked ass. Never read, "The Road" but I find it funny that Oprah picked a horror novel. Might be decent. However, I'm never too positive about film adaptations- a book has countless hours to tell a story, whereas a film only has 1.5 to 3 hours, so it usually sucks. I don't know. Who does?

Cool! I don't support Oprah by any means, but this sounds pretty good. Hail radioactive cannibals!
