My first read of Cormac Mcarthy, his writing style fits this book. Its sense of hoplessness and no way out, is gripping and the events and courage are well recorded and I found the Father and Son memorable. I am not squemish so I appreciate writing that does not back off what it has to say. I was surprised that a book written in this uncompromising way did have hope and something relenting in it's ending, I expected the worst and I thought an ending more in mode with the rest of the book, would have made it a better book, for me anyway. Nevertheless enthralling reading. Have not seen the movie. Down Under.
