My first two impressions of this book were that the writing is wonderful (in spite of the almost complete dearth of commas), and that the book contains either depictions of violence (like, really violent violence, the savagey wild-west slaughter-the-Indians type) or lengthy descriptions of the expan...
I hated this book! I was bored out of my mind and nothing happened. I understand some of the symbolism but it wasn't interesting enough for me to be intrigued. P. 344
Ahhhhh McCarthy, McCarthy, McCarthy. Este es el tercer libro que leo de él. Y creo que por al menos uno o dos años lo dejaré descansar. La razón no es porque sea malo si no todo lo contrario, el cabrón es tan bueno que si me hunde un poco, me pone triste, hace que me de asco, hace que odie al mundo....
Es una historia muy seca y violenta. Visceral por momentos. Llena de simbolismo y prosa pesada a veces.En ciertos puntos parece extenderse demasiado en descripciones que parecen sin importancia, pero que sirven bastante bien para introducirte en la atmósfera y nodejarte salir de la historia.
Whether in my book or not, every man is tabernacled in every other and he inexchange and so on in an endless complexity of being and witness to the uttermost edge of theworld.I read it slowly, tasting the beauty of every single sentence.

An amazing book, Blood Meridian is unlike any I have ever read. It would be impossible to highlight a particular passage over others because it is all so brilliant, beautifully written. You can blindly open the book to any page, plunk your finger on any paragraph and find wondrous, beautiful prose. ...
Cormac McCarthy is a contradictory writer to me. His work at once speaks of academic brilliance while his choice of using often archaic words indicates an incredible vocabulary. I can see that he truly does know how to write. Yet his decision in every work I have read to date to throw off convention...
I'm gunna be harsh. Why not? McCarthy is. I novel is hanged with the fancy rope so many other reviewers extravagantly embroider for it: monotony, flatness, and one-dimensionality. Hold on there illiterate scum, you say, what about all that blood dripping symbolism (and bold historical perspective). ...
