No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy


Great protagonist, antagonist novel!

The book is more violent than the begging of the movie,Saving Private Ryan. Great read, however the writing style takes a while to get use. It can at times be difficult to follow and you have to reread passages since you can easily get lost in the conversations due to the fact that there are no quotations to mark conversation pieces.

The murderous characters are well developed and frightening. Many intense moments in the book perhaps the most is during a coin toss that can determine your life or violent death. This book is not as good and his novel, The Road, however if you like McCarthy and violence it makes for a very interesting and entertaining read.

Grade: B+
