annarella 's review for:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
5.0

Cormac McCarthy is a great writer and one that's hard to classify but he always write powerful novels.
This one is one of the most violent and horrific book I read, worse than any horror full of gore because you know that it could be the retelling of some historical facts.
His West is not a happy place: anarchic, violent, and brutal.
This is one of those novel that makes you feel like you're being punched and loving it.
I don't know if I will ever read again, I know it was a powerful reading experience.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
