Title: Throw It in the Trash
Review: Quite a few years ago I read Blood Meridian by the same author and thought it was terrific book. I will have to go back and see why I thought it was such a great book because No Country for Old Men is absolutely horrible.The story just drifts all over the place, the dialogue is laughable and I spent half the time going back and rereading passages trying to figure out who said what. That is not enjoyable. I recall long ago that many people considered Andy Warhol a genius in the art world despite the fact that most people had no idea what he was trying to accomplish. I think that is the care here with this novel...since it is so bizzare it must be great literature many say.The only way I was able to finish this book was because there are only about ten lines on a page and that dimimished the pain of trying to struggle through this mess. This book should be thrown in the trash can along with Andy Warhol's Campbell soup cans!
