I read No Country For Old Men, and although I'm biased already because I enjoy McCarthy's writing, this story surpasses all others of his that I've read. I was shocked when the two "good guys" of the novel were defeated in huge ways by the antagonist. This is the first book I have read where the characters the reader cheers for are blatantly destroyed both in body and spirit, and although this affected and shocked me, I found that this appealed to me and pulled me further into analyzing this book. I have to think deeply about writing my final reaction of this brilliant book. Until next time...
