yoobik 's review for:
The Passenger
by Cormac McCarthy
The premise is there. The prose is there. But the quantum physics jargon and philosophical ideas made this a dull read at times.
With Cormac McCarthy spending plenty of time in the company of scientists and working alongside the Santa Fe Institute, it's understandable why the book takes this route. But after re-reading The Road just a few weeks ago and flicking endlessly through passages from his past books, The Passenger just isn't on the same level storytelling-wise.
This book won't be for everyone, but I'll still cherish that feeling of being able to turn to the first page of a brand new Cormac McCarthy novel.
And now I wait for Stella Maris...
