Title: Good, but not his best
Review: I've made the mistake of reading Cormac McCarthy in reverse chronological order, having started with "No Country for Old Men", "The Road", the Border Trilogy and Blood Meridian before picking up "Child of God". I enjoyed the book but it makes apparent how McCarthy has grown and evolved as an author and storyteller. Many of the elements I loved in the later books are here only embryonic and not fully realized. McCarthy paints a landscape that is disturbing and dangerous, and made more so being very recognizable to those not caught in the throes of the depicted depravity. This was a satisfactory, but McCarthy has produced better. All the books above are well worth reading.
