Revolutionary Road

Just finish reading this book last night before I went to bed. Since I have 2 more chapters to go, I decided to just finish the book instead of continuing the story today.

Reading this book is like walking on a straight road where you can't really see the path ahead. It's about a couple who lives on Revolutionary Road. The guy has a stable but dull job, pretty wife, two kids and a home in the suburbs. As you're walking down this path, you see them chatting with their neighbours, they seem to look down on their neighbours. Then you see a turn, this couple now plans to go to Europe, to Paris to be exact. They're really excited about it. They can go to Paris start over again and live an extraordinary life. But then there's another turn, the girl got pregnant and they have to change their plans. So they decided not to move. And things went downhill from there.

It's a sad story with a sad ending. The story didn't turn out like how I expected it to be that's why I described this book as a road with many twists and turns.

Have a nice weekend,
Vicky
