Books to Movies: The Road



The movie version of Cormac McCarthy's bestseller, Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Road (2006), will be released on November 25. What's it about? A father and son wander through a post-apocalyptic world.  To read or re-read the book, click here and place a hold at Wood Library or an OWWL library near you. Also available on audio CD. Watch the movie trailer at Hulu.com or watch it below. The movie is nowhere to be found in local theaters yet, but perhaps it will make it to The Little. If the big theater version doesn't go well, see it soon on DVD.
