No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy: 2.5/5

maybe western thrillers aren’t for me. i just found it so boring?? i think the writing imitating the spoken vernacular was too hard for me to read fluidly. it made me disengaged. i also don’t care about guns.
it definitely makes sense that it was originally a screenplay because the movie looks epic ! 
dark tense fast-paced

I would have enjoyed this more if I read it over a shorter period of time. Fantastic storytelling, I just found it a little hard to follow when I was dipping in every few days. That’s my bad.
