No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
2.0

I am scared to be cancelled for this take… but I’m sorry I hate it. I get that the plot is well done, no one is denying that. However, this writing style is ridiculous. I don’t believe that we should celebrate a style of 4-word sentences and no quotation marks. When saying this to other readers I was challenged that “this is most accessible work and you have to adjust.” Simply put, no. I do not have to adjust to improperly written prose because some dude felt like it. I didn’t enjoy it and that is not a crime. Finally, the last 35 pages added nothing at all.

also, hateeee to be the one to say it, but would we celebrate and revere this style if written by a woman….

Rating: 2 stars. Both for the plot.

Onto the movie.
