This book is one of those books where I can appreciate it but not really enjoy it myself. The writing here is some of the best I've ever read, and honestly is a masterpiece. However, I just didn't really enjoy reading it much. There's a lot here, and it was fun reading about it as well as analysis of it, but it was honestly a little boring in areas with some hard to read passages due to how McCarthy structures his flow (although this gets easier over time as you get used to his style).
