"Challenge" is a good word. It seemed like as much of a challenge to be the reader as to be the protagonist in the story.

I enjoyed "No Country for Old Men" but "The Road" gave me nightmares, mainly because it presented a very likely scenario in the event of a worldwide catastrophe. It is a harrowing tale. I recently finished "The Passenger" and its companion "Stella Maris". I'm still thinking those through.
