I had just finished your excellent review and my son was emptying a bookshelf to take more of his books to his apartment. BLOOD MERIDIAN was in the middle and I mentioned your review. He has tried it twice and found it too bleak. “Not for you, Lois” he told me and took it to give it one more shot. Have a great week, Kate

Thanks, Kate! It is very bleak, that's for sure. It's the writing that got me through to the end. But it's definitely NOT a book for everyone.

Cormac McCarthy undoes me. His writing and storytelling are like no other but the darkness of his people and his stories haunt me. I guess that's a good thing.
