So profound and beautifully written,  so much to think about. Stresses the importance of history, God, and hope in a world that so desperately tries to rip those things away. A ponderance on the human condition and the meaning of the times.

Cormac McCarthy’s unique writing style is something. Not my personal favorite, but somehow even without the standard punctuation and dialogue I did not find myself getting lost or confused or not knowing who was talking. I think this book is interesting, but better as a screenplay.
