I've been meaning to read this book for some time now, what was it that made it so popular?

The Road is an attempt to make simplicity seem profound, and an exercise in which Cormac McCarthy sees just how far he can go without replacing his broken typewriter. Next he will give up on full stops and commas.

The Road is the most heartbreaking thing I think I've ever read. It's a terrifying journey into the primal nature of mankind. You keep reading, hoping for salvation that may or may not be granted. It shares many themes as Cormac's No Country For Old Men and manages to make them even darker. Great novel. Still haunts me from time to time.
