Title: A vastly inferior Blood Meridian
Product review: You know what this comes across as? It's as if Mr. Nicol read Cormac McCarthy's tremendous work and thought it was the coolest thing in the world, and set out to rewrite it in a new setting. His scenes, language and style seem lifted straight from McCarthy's pages, but he can't even come close to capturing the essence of regeneration through violence. That's not to say that such was Nicol's goal, because a goal is not apparent. This is a work of drivel that proceeds in jerks and spasms, and offers nothing to the literary world. Well, there is ONE good thing about it, and that is its length. Even at 200 pages, though, it's hard to get through. Why waste precious days reading this when there's so much else out there?
