Could anybody recommend me a good book with a post-apocalyptic setting? Read The Road recently, but I didn't like it much. I want rich descriptions of the abandoned facilities, I want it to portray a deep sense of abandonment and pointlessness.

Just read "memoirs of a survivor" by Doris Lessing and was blown away. Quite psychological

I also disliked the Road even though I love post-apocalyptic novels and Cormac Mcarthy novels.

OP here, I just felt all the way through as though they got a good premise, some good ideas and just never really got around to do anything with them. Like having a kid to take to care of, I thought would make for some unique moral choices and all, but the writer only really used him as such a tool in like two scenes, and for the rest, he was more of a barricade to having the protagonist explore and show more of the world. Also, I feel it got lost in dragging out scenes that would have told more if they were shorter and vice versa.
