I think I need to reread this one in the future. I couldn't stand the writing style, and I didn't like the ending. I didn't really get it. I understand the focus on Bell's life journey moreso than our two other main characters, but I felt like the point it was trying to make fell flat and ruined the gripping story between the two men. I did however appreciate the way McCarthy paints a setting.
