barbara fister reviewed No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Review of 'No Country for Old Men' on 'LibraryThing'
5 stars
An interesting book. McCarthy doesn't truck with quotation marks and apostrophes, so his pages have a desert look - spare, harsh. So does the story, which involves a highly skilled sociopath killing a lot of people for money and because he enjoys the power of it. Nihilists of the Purple Sage. An old sheriff and a young welder who stumbles on a bunch of drug money aren't much of a match for him. Good writin but I dont rightly know what to think bout the endin.
