4.5

I don't think the writing was too hard to follow, but I did have to Google a lot of words because McCarthy loves his rocks, his landforms, his old-timey words. I feel like I need to revisit this book later on to fully ingest the message, the motifs, what each character says and does. It's definitely a book that stays with you.
