Negative Positive
Title: Alas...
Review: The long hiatus between Cities of the Plain and No Country for Old Men wasn't very fruitful. I've been a McCarthy fan for 15 years, and this last effort is very, very disapointing. Yes the prose is McCarthy, but the storyline has lost a lot to cheap expedience and a huge and unnecessary pile of bloody corpses. What saddens me the most is that the feeling of elation is gone. What a waste.
Is the review positive or negative?
