zak_martell 's review for:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional inspiring mysterious reflective relaxing sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It felt slow paced, but in a relaxing way, not a dull way. The characters felt so believable in their world. The Judge was menacing and The Kid had more depth to him than most nameless protagonists. The whole gang told a story of a world and I loved my time in it.

Best read of the year for me.
It’s my first time reading McCarthy but it won’t be my last.
