Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy
3.0

I made a pretty stupid mistake in reading this. I picked it at random, having enjoyed the other McCarthy books I’ve read. I was enjoying the book despite being a bit confused at times and found it as well written as I expected it to be.

It ended so abruptly and without resolution though that I was honestly left dumbfounded. An immediate google search informed me that this is a follow up to an earlier release which I imagine would have shed a whoooole lot more light on this book. Silly, silly error.

So I’ve gone for a neutral 3-stars for now until the time I can read the first book to (hopefully) give more context.
