Great!

I strongly reccomend this book and movie. This author is amazing. He also wrote 'The Road' which is amazing!

Best I've read in a while

Narrative flows well, engaging read. Menacing character who is central to novel permeates atmosphere, interesting as he says little but actions, whoa, speak volumes. I'd keep running if this guy was after me. Lots of dry humor and wise self reflection from the sheriff make you think. There is no "he said," "she said," in this book, any dialogue between characters you figure out from personality, so pay attention. Good book.

A little tricky.

This books was really good. The only cons about it are the quotes, or I should say lack there of. The book has absolutely no quotes to indicate dialog. This took me some getting use to. But all in all I'm glad I stuck it through, it turned out to be a decent read from an author I will definitely try again. It just lost one star because of the punctuation problems. Happy Reading!

Blood chilling

The story kicks off with Moss, who accidentally stumbles upon the scene of a drug deal gone bad while out hunting, and discovers bodies everywhere as well as a case containing $2.4 million. Moss takes off with the case, setting off a pursuit by Bell, an old sheriff who is trying to catch the bad guys but also trying to keep Moss out of harms way, as well as by Chigurgh, a hit man who is relentlessly tracking Moss to get the money back and to enforce his own evil code of justice.

I am conflicted about this book and struggling to explain why. Just coming off reading The Road (which I loved) and anticipating the movie made by the Coen Brothers, my expectations were high. Perhaps too high. While I loved the sparse, bullet fire narrative style, I grew weary of Bell's reflections. I found parts of the book to be brilliant and riveting, while others bored me. Portions of the book were well developed, while others dropped me flat with little to no explanation as to what just happened. I might need to go back and re-read the book, perhaps skipping Bell's prose which dragged on for pages. Chigurh is certainly fascinating, if not blood chilling. I will never look at a coin toss in the same way. Did I like this book? I'm really not sure. It certainly is not for everyone. But it continues to haunt me, that's for sure.

lived up to expectations

Certainly lots of action, but also very thought provoking. After finishing a chapter, I often found myself looking off into space with the book in my lap, thinking about the characters.
