I've read the other two, but I read a lot of McCarthy in a row and his style is very distinctive, and it after a few it overwhelmed the books. I think I need to space them out more.
Yeah, I definitely dig the writing style. I'm looking forward to the movie. Viggo Mortenson seems like a good pick for the dad. Plus the director is the guy that directed The Proposition, an Australian Western from a few years back that I really liked.
I read the book after No Country, because I loved the movie. The Road, though interesting and bold, was just too bleak for me. I suppose I'll see the movie, tho.
My wife had read the book before me and had commented the same. But I'm kind of a sucker for dreary post-apocalyptic fiction, so I'm diggin' it so far.
Reading this right now, BTW. Very good book. My first Cormac McCarthy, though I have All the Pretty Horses and No Country for Old Men.
ReplyDeleteFantastic book.
