Blood Meridian, or The Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy

2.0

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I… did not like this book. It was unnecessarily long-winded, pretty dry, and just not what I expected after reading the Road. The writing was gorgeous, as usual, but it felt like reading Steinbeck in McCarthy’s prose. Just. Not good.
