Title: Why, Mr. McCarthy?
Product review: Woe is me. I hate this book and I have been an avid reader of his previous work. I believe my freshman English teacher would have marked this work, "pretentious, self-indulgent, and overwritten with little redeeming value." The story is lost somewhere in his thesaurus. Did he just find this tool on his menu bar? I am so disappointed by the leaden pace, the overdone adjectives taken from the prose thesaurus and the plethora of 18th century obscure references. I found some rhythm in the first few pages and some beautiful descriptions, but it soon degenerated into tedious, boring, depressing and maudlin accounts that contribute nothing to these characters in a pointless story. I can't force my way through and I am giving up. I so wish I had never picked it up. It has diminished my view of McCarthy's talent. Why, Mr. McCarthy?
