Excellent review. I am still pretty sure that it is not for me, but I am glad you liked it. My son read it for a class (high school??) and he liked it a lot.
Thanks, Kate! Yes, this is not a book for everyone. There is legit terror, horror and violence, both on the page and conjured in your mind. Not everyone's cup of tea, for sure.
Yes!! Highly recommended. I wrote my Honours thesis on the novel and McCarthy's use of flat ontology and primordial violence. My favourite work of his and I re-read it at least once a year. It's brilliant. I eagerly await the GIFs!!

V excited to read this after the apocalypse is over and I can handle it.
Yes! It for sure could be read as a how-to survival guide.
One of McCarthy's briefest and bleakest. It doesn't hold a candle to Blood Meridian though, in my humble opinion.
I haven’t read that one yet, but it’s on my list!
