modernyeoman 's review for:

No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy

3.0

3.5 Stars. I generally dislike the use of brutal, gritty, raw, etc. as adjectives of praise. They certainly describe this story and a number of its characters, but the beauty of this book is found in the second half, I think. It raises a lot of important questions about the interplay between free will and control, and the source of sphere of influence of human evil. Really good questions.
