Title: Ugh
Review: We wait seven years for a book, and by the author's own admission this is the labor of six months. As Christopher Ricks says, "Great artists take great risks" and Cormac used to do so - no longer. In his twilight years, one might expect some new-fangled creation honoring, say, a Dostoevsky, one of Cormac's shining stars, and instead we get a throw-away "thriller" to the cannon. Unconvincing characters detached from the drug-world that is supposedly making them real. And the driving force to great Cormac writing - description - is missing. Moral to the novel: tell your children not to make fun of kids named 'Sugar'. Now don't forget.
