As usual, McCarthy pulls no punches. Bleak and devastating as usual, but beautiful, philosophical and poetic. The first two books of this trilogy are outstanding and I have yet to read anything from Cormac McCarthy that would dispute his position as one of the greatest American authors to ever put pen to paper.

Dark, depressing and boring
A young man makes several trips into Mexico where he meets mostly awful people and endures all sorts of horrors. There were a few brief moments of decency and humanity but for the most part this was just unrelentingly brutal. To make it worse, it was also boring, filled with long digressions and navel gazing grade school philosophy. There is also a lot of untranslated Spanish. Luckily I was reading on an e-reader so I could select and translate. This did become tedious in certain sections, however. Overall, I just found nothing to enjoy in this book. It's the third or fourth of the author's works I've read and will probably be the last.

I could not bring myself to finish this book after the wolf died in Part I. I get it, Cormac. The only unchanging feature of the world and its order is that those without power experience it in heartbreak, fear, and pain.
