No Country for Old Men Cormac McCarthy Books

I'm not sure if I have ever read a book that had such an amazing start and that then became so bad. It went from 4 stars to 2. One of the main problems is that about three-fourths of the way through the novel there was a major turning point and from that point on the novel was so boring that I almost quit reading it. Perhaps McCarthy was trying to do something unique with the non-traditional story structure but it didn't work for me. I felt like the story was done 100 pages before it actually ended. I'm surprised to hear myself saying this but skip the book and see the movie instead.

No Country for Old Men Cormac McCarthy Books Reviews

No Country in for Old Men is a bloody and bold novel. The story takes place in Texas in 1980. The plot concerns a young man named Moss who comes across a bloody crime scene in the desert. He discovers several dead drug dealers and teals the millions of dollars he finds on their corpses.
Moss flees from a devilish homicidal maniac whose name is Anton Chigurh An old Texas sheriff Bell is given the difficult task of tracking down the evil Chigurth and saving the life of young Moss and his wife.. The exciting story will keep your interest from the first to the last page., A quick read!
The book excels in the use of dialogue. These characters speak as if they are real people. The graphic violence will be disturbing to many readers. This is not for young and impressionable readers. The novel was made into a famous movie which was awarded the Best Picture Oscar in 2007.
Unfortunately, I watched the movie prior to reading the book and I have to admit the book holds its own to a superb Coen Brothers film. McCarthy
writes a hard, cold, mean prose almost devoid of heroes. He juxtaposes good, decent ordinary human beings up against the 21st centuries' Hannibal Lecter only this psychopath has absolutely no charm nor charisma nor overpowering intellect. Anton Chigur is a psychopath with only one saving grace; he is as relentlessly ruthless and savage as death. Read the book and maybe you'll root for the sheriff or the man who stole the dope deal gone bad's brief case full of drug money. It is a truly remarkable and enjoyable book.. The 20th century had Hannibal Lecter, a suave and brilliant psychopath. The 21st century has Anton Chigur, a frozen creature without even a hint of a soul. Take your pick charm and great taste or the bloodless soulless threat of a great white shark on the hunt.
What more can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? This is an incredible book. I read The Road prior to this book and it's difficult to say which is my favorite. Both are fantastic. I read the parts of Sheriff Ed Tom Bell in Tommy Lee Jones' voice because I just can't think of anyone else who would've been better cast in that role. And Mr. Chigurh is truly a psychopath in this book. A wonderful contrast to the aging sheriff.
This book is built around the premise that any one of us can think we are making a good decision only to later find out the depths of how bad that decision actually was. Llewelyn Moss chose to take a suitcase full of money from a drug deal gone bad, thinking he would never get caught…and it all goes downhill from there.

This was my first Cormac McCarthy book, suggested by a friend who well knows my penchant for Strunk and White’s “The Elements of Style.” Commas are a rare breed, and quotation marks were extinct long before this book was written. Even so, the author’s style is fairly easy to understand, and the story drives this book anyhow. The down-home conversations reveal a lot about the characters, and the interludes with Sheriff Bell (where it seems as if he is speaking directly to us) tell us everything we want to know about the man, and more.

Mr. McCarthy balances multiple characters, allowing each to share the main stage and have their moment to shine as the book races to an unexpected climax. The plot examines motivations, particularly why different people make different decisions and the underlying currents that cause or force them to continue, right or wrong, to embrace whatever path was chosen. These moments are very revealing, and it is interesting to view each character’s interpretation of what is ethical behavior. This is not a speed read. The author’s style arm-twists us into slowing down, and for that I am grateful. Five stars.
I'm not sure if I have ever read a book that had such an amazing start and that then became so bad. It went from 4 stars to 2. One of the main problems is that about three-fourths of the way through the novel there was a major turning point and from that point on the novel was so boring that I almost quit reading it.
