Overall, an interesting book. It's good to know going in that McCarthy does not use quotations in this book. If you go in without knowing that, you might feel some resentment toward him. For the most part, the reader knows what's going on despite the lack of proper grammar. There were a few times I ...
This book takes place in Texas in the 1980s. I don't know how many people saw the movie, but the book adds a lot more depth to the characters that I really enjoyed. That said, I thought that it got a bit too long though. Once we get past a certain point in the book it just felt like things were bein...
Maybe it's just the audiobook, but listening to this is like sitting on a porch with your long-winded grandpa with a faulty memory. One of those times where the movie was better than the book.
This book was a surprise and a revelation to me in its unexpected brilliance!

From coin tosses to car wrecks, Murphy's Law is in full effect in this literary novel. I had big fun reading about Anton Chigurh, the same kind of enjoyment one gets while watching A...

This is indeed No Country for Old Men. A psychopath of a hitman, Anton Chi...
An interesting McCarthy work. It is essentially a modern day Western, especially of the Spaghetti type. Told in McCarthy's sparse style. Here he is at his sparsest.It pretty clearly is a meditation on good and evil. This is now my third McCarthy and the previous two were also meditations on goo...
Gotta come clean. I really have a hard time reading Cormac McCarthy. I know him not using quotation marks is a choice of style, but it honestly makes his stuff a bit hard for me to read. I struggle with who is doing the talking at times, or if there's even dialogue being spoken. However, I ended u...
