There is a lot I think I should say about this book. There's a richness of themes all throughout, up to the very end.
I could maybe try to articulate as best as I can my thoughts about how the story conveys a sort of feeling of impending doom, of everything ending in the worst way, and that it is unstoppable.
Or maybe about how Chigurh is an amazing character in many ways, not only because of what he does and says, but what he represents, what he becomes.
Also I could try and talk about the way it communicates this sense impending doom even outside the scope of the story, but of society, of the hopes of future generations.
But I think I'll just say this, this book made me think a whole lot and it fascinated me in the most unexpected fashion and that is all I can ask from a book.

Kind of don't care about the events of the plot.
When it's sheriff Ed Tom reflecting it's all well and good because it's reflections on life, a terrain that literary fiction have long since deservedly claimed as its own, and because the author has a good control of the cadence of his writing, or the prosody, or whatever the fuck. But when it's not it's disgustingly laconically, tersely described plot about characters not that endearing or interesting, which is random because it's the main point of it that it's random, the dilemma of the sometimes narrator being that he lives in a stubbornly random world.
And Anton Chighur is kind of like Donald Westlake's Parker, only reimagined as a modern, godless world's devil, which is not even THAT exciting.
