Nikki,
With all due respect, your response is pretty vague. I'd like to hear
more of your critique.
No, obviously, the apocalypse hasn't happened, but neither has the
lapsometer. So why is LIR better (it is, in my opinion)? What building
blocks are missing to make The Road an "unsuccessful" novel?
I'd just like to get a discussion going, not just dismissive quips.
