Second McCarthy’s “effective language” attribution.

I read The Road, and it was so sufficiently “effective” in its descriptions and it’s setting that I’m happy never reading another McCarthy book again. Glad I did once.

I will watch the movies though!

I absolutely loved The Road, but I couldn't finish Blood Meridian ... I had no interest in the setting or the characters at all.

it's gruesome. I love westerns but in a way this is some kind of anti-western. Captivating however, in the same way 'Heart of Darkness' - Joseph Conrad , is.
