5.0

A tense and gripping crime thriller that completely threw me for a loop near the end. This is definitely something you need to let simmer after reading all of it. It is one of the best books I’ve ever read, and beginning to understand the themes of fate, morality, justice, etc. that McCarthy implemented into the story make it that much better.
