Cormac McCarthy is a real hit or miss author for me. This title is by far a hit.
There's something about the way he writes people that just feels real. Like these people are really out there somewhere, and that quality makes his villains all the scarier for it.

This is a brilliant book that doesn't outstay its welcome. I personally preferred Blood Meridian, but this is up there with my favourites from McCarthy.
