Product Description:
In No Country for Old Men, Cormac McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.

I'm a fan of the Coen Brothers, so their attachment to this book is what drew me to the movie first. I hadn't read Cormac McCarthy's other books, so this story was a nice introduction to his fiction and I look forward to delving deeper into his work.
The book is a modern-day western. My review follows more than 400 other Amazon reviews, so I'm not going to walk you over well-worn paths.
My review is for people who saw the movie first and may think it unnecessary to pick ... Read More

The writing, and his selection of words, is something we don't see as often as we should. And the characters are unique and unusual. It makes them seem more like real people rather than the bland, cookie cutter characters you see in a lot of novels.
I would highly recommend.

I suppose I am too old to appreciate all the chaotic word pictures and the sad presentation of both movie and book. I don't understand why or ... Read More

Cormac McCarthy has a unique and memorable writing style. What you read stays with you because it takes a little effort to internalize it. His storytelling is largely symbolic, as well. If you can read what's between the paragraphs, you'll get the rest of the story.
McCarthy has carved out a place for himself in the writing world by breaking a few rules of conventional writing: punctuation, grammar, dialects, etc. These are ways in which he'll be remembered, which is a shame. He is a ... Read More
