Title: A crashing squel to the Border Trilogy
Review: As others have written, i really wanted to enjoy this book. Having enjoyed the sparse dialogue and trim character depictions of the Trilogy, I was looking for more. Instead I got gratuitous blood and gore, more than I ever want to know about guns, and a plot that was as bad as scatter-brained as Wolfe. I missed the lyrical landscapes from the Border - a strength that I thought McCarthy shared with the likes of Annie Proulx. The one saving grace in this book were the reveries of the sheriff. But did we need all that violence to make the point this is "no country for old men"? What a waste of talent.
Is the review positive or negative?
