Query: Is there something I'm missing???

There are very few books that I skim read and do not instead consider every word and its place in the sentence, but this was one of them. To be fair, I appreciated the dialogue. It seemed exactly the type of dialogue that a worn out man remaining the right side of sanity only by sheer will power, may have with a child. That was all I appreciated. My main problem with this book is the lack of explanation for the ash that the entire story is set in!!! Something happened to turn all crop, forest and animal life to ash but yet the wooden houses by the sides of the road remain. How that made it past the editor I do not know. Maybe the movie added an explanation to that one? This was a complete and utter waste of my time. I am reticent ever to buy something else that Oprah has endorsed.
