I can't be seen as unbiased. I am not a huge Cormac McCarthy fan, but I have actively tried, and of his books, this is my favorite. As with his other books, I struggled with the lack of punctuation.

I think maybe the thing people love about McCarthy is also what I am not impressed with. He can write absolutely brutal scenes, but there's also a kind of staleness when nothing brutal is happening. It's almost like a movie with no music (No Country for Old Men, I'm looking at you), but the absolute still nothingness doesn't translate so well for me in a book., and the lack of punctuation gives me too few clues about what the nothingness is supposed to feel like.
