I cruised through this book! And for good reason. Cormac McCarthy--like with "The Road"--exceptional at building the suspense.
To echo Diane...where has this author been all my life. Oh yeah! Right under my nose. Every time I entered a book store and browsed the shelves I am pr...more...

This is the story of a drug deal gone bad. A man named Llewellyn Moss comes across a truck surrounded by a bunch of dead men. There is a case with over two million dollars in the back of the truck, as well as a large amount of heroin. He decides to take the money and run...setting off a very bloody ...more...

My coworker provided me with a copy of this book and told me that I had to read it. He knew I was a pretty big fan of the movie, though not really a huge fan, and he knew I had mentioned that Cormac McCarthy was being talked about much more often in reference to his body of work. Much like “The ...more...

A literary critic (of whom I am not fond) by the name of Harold Bloom referred to Cormac McCarthy as one of the four living (and still working) American novelists who write "the Style of our age", saying they have composed canonical works. So with this ringing in my ears, and the film ve...more...

Hmmm. While this was a little cops and robbers for me at times, I was definitely hooked as I kept listening (this was yet another audiobook). I found it to be very different from "The Road" in style, tone, characters, and pretty much everything else one might expect to be fairly typical ...more...

A well-written, intensely-told commentary on opposing forces in nature and humanity. Good vs. Evil, Fate vs. Choice, Mind vs. Soul. McCarthy excels yet again at telling a story of extraordinary depth through the simple minds of complex people. It depicts the age old argument of how humans, in an ...more...

A gripping crime-scene thriller plus more, which takes us through a series of murders in the small border town of an older, dedicated sheriff trying to police in a world that has changed, where the bad guys sometimes win. Suspenseful and charged with a hope-ridden hopelessness, and peppered with bl...more...

I approached this book full of bias. It has become a bestseller after the movie version, and I tend to be naturally shy of bestsellers. I was also told by many who saw the movie – which I haven’t yet – how gruesome it was.
But I had read The Road by Cormac McCarthy earlier in t...more...

Seeing the movie before reading the book is something I avoid if I'm at all interested in the subject matter. One is going to alter my view of the other, and I'd rather my book reading experience be untainted by images of what the characters look like or sound like. In the case of "No Country f...more...

What struck me most about this book is how perfect the delivery was. The story is incredibly engaging and written in sparse, efficient language with pitch-perfect dialogue that's just ... well, perfect. An example of "male" literature, but the themes of fate and humanity are universal. ...more...
