No country for old men by Cormac McCarthy,
I have seen the movie and now I have read the book. Whew. What a thriller. Chigurh is beyond any assassin anywhere. Moss is Joe Average who we hope will make it and Bell is the cop trying to save him. It is written on a number of levels. What hope for society with characters like Chigurh and the other criminals mentioned in this book. Cormac McCarthy's style of writing is sparse but it is done with feeling.
I am now going to seek out all of Cormac McCarthy's novels.
The road and No country for old men are both well written, fast paced and thought provoking.
Read them I say
Nick
