cat_book_lady 's review for:
The Passenger
by Cormac McCarthy
Giving this a dnf after 137 pages. This is classic McCarthy, and I knew what I was getting into. But after reading his masterpiece Blood Meridian (NOT for the faint of heart) and The Road, I wish he just did a mic drop moment and left those as his last. Besides the creepy incestuous feelings that the bro and sis have for each other - and the sister's commitment to an insane asylum follows in the sequel - I simply could not follow the point on this one, as it seemed to ramble about quantum physics and race car driving, deep-sea diving...and well, that's as far as I got. I only have a third of my life left to read, and this one was simply not satisfying, which again is McCarthy, but not for my season of life at the moment.
