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.

- Interesting yarn, nothng more.
This is my first McCarthy book. A good two day read. Decent story with some interesting twists. But what it has to tell us about fate and chance and good and evil and wrong choices and paths that cross (or dont) and staying close to the people who love you, we already knew that. At least I did.

- Great writing
I bought this book after seeing the movie and loved it. Even though I already knew the story I could not put it down. The writing, and his selection of words, is something we don't see as often as we should. And the characters are unique and unusual. It makes them seem more like real people rather than the bland, cookie cutter characters you see in a lot of novels.

I would highly recommend.

- the book and video
I purchased both the book and the video..The movie was confused, or at least it confused me, so I bought the book to try to unscramble the content of the movie..disappointing..Tommy Lee Jones who plays the Sheriff in the movie was the most interesting character but even with his skills in acting, he was hard pressed to present a believable character.

- The Coin Has No Say
Cormac McCarthy has a unique and memorable writing style. What you read stays with you because it takes a little effort to internalize it. His storytelling is largely symbolic, as well. If you can read what's between the paragraphs, you'll get the rest of the story.

McCarthy has carved out a place for himself in the writing world by breaking a few rules of conventional writing: punctuation, grammar, dialects, etc. These are ways in which he'll be remembered, which is a shame. He is a gifted writer who should be remembered for his artistry with his pen, not his apostrophe abuse.

There are a few very well placed surprises in No Country for Old Men. I wish now that I had read it when it was a new release. The story takes gentle sweeps instead of big winding twists, but ... Read More

- Whipped Through That One
Excellence one comes to expect from Mr. McCarthy. Quick-paced and gory, this book felt like I was reading a Coen brothers movie - oh, wait... and I haven't even seen the movie.
