I will start by saying I like McCarthy's writing style.
This was the first book of his I read and I found the lack of chapters or real "breaks" kind of exhilarating. There are two main characters, so following the dialogue when McCarthy doesn't use quotation marks isn't too hard. The story is extremely captivating, dark brooding melancholy throughout. Maybe the lack of chapters added to the frenzied feel and the need to finish the story; I read it in two days.

4.5 The way this book is written, may make it one of the most unique apocalyptic reads I’ve read to date. It is both heartbreaking and enthralling.
