codyheart 's review for:
No Country for Old Men
by Cormac McCarthy
I honestly expected more from this book.
Two things:
(1) It felt like it was written as a script vs a novel. I came to find out that yes, Cormac McCarthy originally wrote No Country for Old Men as a screenplay. However, due to a lack of interest from Hollywood, he rewrote it as a novel in 2005. The Coen brothers then adapted the novel into a film in 2007, which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture
(2) Yes the violence and the narration at the beginnings of parts were fantastic and gripping, but the rest of it didn’t really grip me.
This is borderline 3 or 4 but I’ll go with 3 on the enjoyment scale. I would just recommend watching the movie instead. Especially being that’s what Cormac originally intended anyway.
