Title: Highly overrated author
Product review: I bought this on a professor's recommendation because I like apocalyptic fiction. The story and concept has great potential, but fails in execution because of McCarthy's style. Even without reading the text (I understand he doesn't use quotations, among other proper punctuation), his writing style clearly felt simplistic and stilted. There were sections (mostly settings) that I thought well painted, but the dialogue was weak and often unbelievable. The narrator's 'child' voice didn't help much, but was a minor point.tl;dr: The poor dialogue and staccato sentence structure doomed what would otherwise be a very powerful story.
