Title: 50 cent words, 10-cent quality
Product review: McCarthy is so clever. He adapts Hemmingway's spare writing, mucks it up with 50 cent words, then applies it to a book with no plot, no motivation, no character. Also, he uses a lot of British-style grammar, even though he is not a Brit. He divorced a Brit a while back but that's as close as he got.It works okay as a mood piece, and might have been a decent short story. The large print and line spacing suggests he was reaching to make it a novel.If you want a mood piece that actually moves you, try some Kazuo Ishiguru. Hit the road, Cormac.
