Title: Long murky road to ?
Product review: I'm a Cormac McCarthy fan. I have read most of his books and recommend them all to friends and family. While this book was disappointing, CM is a master of language - you feel the cold, the hunger, the addictions and the poverty in this novel. The imagery brings you to live the scenes. However, this story has no plot - it meanders and wanders. While the Suttree character is developed nicely - you never understand why he's walked out on his family or why he comes and goes as he does. CM uses heavy doses of "dictionary look-up" words. The novel is dense and thick with descriptions of the surroundings and environment - as a result the book is long (very), unsatisfying and unfulfilling. If you are new to Cormac McCarthy's work - try any one of his other works including The Road, The Border Trilogy, No Country for Old Men or Blood Meridian.
