Editorial Review:
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 like the book about as much as the movie, and the book features more scenes and dialogue. I also like how the book ties up the confusing aspects of the movie. The ending of both is still a little odd, however (somebody I know said that Sherriff Bell has Alzheimer's and that his dreams are based on actual memories of his, and I think the last part is true, but the book doesn't indicate that he has Alzheimer's).
The book is fast-paced and intriguing. The way it was written is sometimes distracting, ... Read More

I loved the movie and finally took it upon myself to seek out the source material, which I have to say is a superb read. The book clocks in at just over 300 pages and it's a really quick read. Still, the book's length and ease to get through don't take away from its power. The book is written so well that as I was reading it, I could easily imagine the Coen Brothers having absolutely no problems with adapting the book for the screen. It literally reads like a detail for detail description of the movie, of ... Read More

It wasn't a country for old men or anybody else, for that matter, if you happened to be in the wrong place at the right time and saw too much - or dared to take that which seemed up for grabs in unique opportunity. Cormac McCarthy has done a superb job in taking us inside the bloody, ruthless and savage world of the drug dealers, tapping the black mindset that goes with protecting the flow of the territorial drug lord mega money.

I did the unspeakable, I watched the movie (most of it) first. Unfortunately I was therefore recalling all of the images that had been provided for me. Although I do think it made it easier for me to follow the story line since a lot of situations were left for you to figure out on your own. I recommend this to read but not for the faint of heart nor for children. The movie is also very watered down in comparison to the book.

I recently read McCarthy's "The Road", which I enjoyed quite a bit. I thought it was a powerful and important novel, one that I won't forget. I didn't feel the same about "No Country for Old Men". I thought that several characters in this novel were one-dimensional and forgettable. Sure, the story had some intense moments that got my heart pumping quickly, but the story seemed to drag -- at least for me. I ended up skimming the last thirty or so pages.
