Title: It's not Faulkner
Review: It doesn't even seem like McCarthy. Gone are the finely woven stories of the Border Trilogy. This novel feels like an unfinished work, a mere outline to a real McCarthy novel. I was disappointed in the lack of depth of the characters; I never cared about Lester, nor had any inkling as to why he had turned so rotten. I did notice, every now and then, the beautiful prose that the author's known for, but the story was never fleshed out.Don't start reading McCarthy here as one reviewer suggested, it might turn you off to one of the great story tellers of his generation. Start with the Border Trilogy books, you will get a much better sense of the writer.
