ashlynstephens 's review for:
No Country for Old Men
by Cormac McCarthy
I love this movie so I was so excited to finally read the book. It’s so good. If you’re reading this review I’m begging you to get and read this book. The writing is brilliant, the themes throughout the book are so consistent and tied together so well, the characters are fascinating, it’s just altogether incredible.
I will be reading more of McCarthy’s stuff, I fear I must now. I took note of some snippets I really liked from the book and here’s my favorites:
“There is no description of a fool that you fail to satisfy. Now you’re going to die.“ (27)
“It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people can’t be governed at all. Or if they could I never heard of it.“ (64)
“I don’t recall that I ever give the good Lord all that much cause to smile on me. But he did.“ (91)
“I wake up sometimes way in the night and I know as certain as death that there ain’t nothing short of the second coming of Christ that can slow this train. I don’t know what is the use of me laying awake over it. But I do.“ (159)
“There ain’t nothing you could of done about it. No, but you always like to think there is.“ (240)
“Bell tried to think about his life. Then he tried not to.“ (269)
“If I’m wiser in the ways of the world it come at a price. Pretty good price too.“ (296)
“There’s two kinds of people that don’t ask a lot of questions. One is too dumb to and the other don’t need to.“ (298)
“In the dream I knew that he was going on ahead and that he was fixing to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there.“ (309)
