Customer Reviews of No Country for Old Men
Worth it Strange book...are we hearing the author's true opinions through Bell or not? Unlike any other book, the characters deaths are almost trivial, which I suppose is one of the points. It's not the ending that counts, it's what you did to get there that does. One of the main men dies and we don't see it or read it, we only get it through the eyes of Bell at the morgue. <
>Also - Is there a distinct similarity between the ending of this book and the "fire in the hold" of Blood Meridian?
Nihilistic Vision
McCarthy provides vivid believable characters, an unsparing plot, and a realistic grip on Southwest Texas geography/customs. However, the narrative style is so austere that it distracts and compromises the overall impact. My lasting impression of McCarthy's nihilistic vision is that it increasing reflects an amoral, violent, and meaningless American culture.
McCarthy's modern thriller
Excellent McCarthy as usual but a different kind of story. Tightly written, spare but precise in its descriptions and action, the story moves quickly and often quirkily- characters come and go as in many of McCarthy's books, death is violent and the tension holds throughout. Better than the usual "best seller" international-name fiction available at all good airports today.
