Now, I am thoroughly happy to have read this book in its entirety. It was done over a long time, started and halted reading it over at least a year plus ago….however I read the remaining 90 percent in the last week of this review post. Glad to and likely to start another of the author’s works, likely “No Country For Old Men” as I haven’t watched either film for that book or this one.
I thought the bleakness of the story was well told, it was a simple story telling of a far from simple plot, and it was done with respect to the readers’ intelligence but not taking too much of a risk in assuming all could be easily understood.
It felt real. The story felt as real as it could while being a fiction story of a desolate world following a father and son.
Can be slow to start and a bit throughout, but like the Lord of the Rings books, it tells a part of the story in those slower worlds too.
