carla_mylittlebookcase 's review for:
No Country for Old Men
by Cormac McCarthy
Not my cup of tea... at all
I have to admit, I just did not get on with this book at all. I found McCarthy’s writing style frustrating; not just because of the southern style but the lack of punctuation! How many ‘and’s can you put in one unnecessarily long sentence? Personally I found that it just made the book frustrating to follow
As for the actual plot, I found it a little boring, with zero character development. I didn’t care about any of the characters at all. The ending, to me, was completely pointless.
I’m really struggling to understand why this book has such rave reviews. Clearly I must have missed whatever it is.
