A review by sasukeuchihastan
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

challenging dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

"the road" so far remains my favorite mccarthy book, but "blood meridian" had me in a chokehold due to the banality of violence and nonchalance of evil. it's one of those books where there is so much meaning packed into every single sentence, but the tone and style make it matter of fact rather than something to be dissected.
