Like everything Cormac McCarthy has ever written, No Country for Old Men is a masterpiece of American literature that is so profound, so spartanly poetic and so layered that it's worthy of re-reading a million times over. McCarthy captures the harsh, but beautiful soul of the pioneer country that is...
No Country For Old Men is a hard book to peg down. It started slow...wandered aimlessly a bit, seemed to have no point. Picked up quickly, got really, really good, and then kind of petered off towards the end. The ending took what I thought was a 5-star book back down to a 4-star; it was extremely a...
I shouldn't say much about this book because it won't do justice to it. This novel has too big of a heart to tell tales about.
