Title: Confusion Reigns
Review: A friend of mine and I have been debating this book for awhile. He called it a modern day classic western (an oxymoran, but hey)while I was just confused. I seemed to have missed some major chunks of plot. Like the ones that connect the story into something cogent. Or, maybe I missed an intricate one-liner hidden amoungst the terse prose that would have explained everything. I know there's a couple of bad guys and there are a couple of good guys, and the bad guys are killing the good guys and the other bad guys over some heroin money found by one of the good guys. Some of good guys die early on in the book and then you're left to root for an aging sheriff who ruminates without much advancement of the plot. Or did I miss the point of that also? I've never been the biggest Cormac McCarthy fan, and now I know why. Read it and see for yourself.
Is the review positive or negative?
