cthib9 's review for:
Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West
by Cormac McCarthy
I feel inadequate as a writer after reading this.
Blood Meridian is a gallery of pure, cold-blooded violence and is depicted with an eloquence suitable only for the written word. There are very few heroes to speak of, if any, and each occurring villain tops the last one until the final pages.
To find a storyline, you'll have to dive into the details of the southwestern lifestyle of the mid-1800s, in which Cormac McCarthy must have spent a considerable amount of time researching. The book reads more like studying a fine painting using a magnifying glass, a portrait of a godless time.
The ending, however ambiguous, will forever haunt me.
