mikenyby 's review for:

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy
5.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I was repeatedly stunned by McCarthy's idiosyncratic and brilliant use of language to convey such starkly devastating messages. It's like a series of prose-form gut-punches.

"Austere, unmoving, implacable. Before just such a God."
