I was surprised by how faithful the movie was to the book. Tense and thoughtful, McCarthy has a wonderful ear for authentic dialogue.

The Road (Oprah's Book Club)
"Great book, gritty and dark. A must read. " – tx85
No Country for Old Men
"A well-written, profound, philosophical novel. Good vs. Evil. Fate vs. Choice. It's no, The Road, but it is great in its own right." – rommy
All the Pretty Horses
"Although the style formatting he used was frustrating to read & adapt, I did enjoy the storyline, and it was hard to put down." – DianaMoon
Intensely satisfying modern cowboy tale, only with sociopathic Mexicans instead of injuns, and more heroin.
The bleakest, darkest, purest piece of post-apocalyptic literature I've ever read. Worth reading, even as it tears you apart, never to be built back up.
Brutal, bleak, but with a stark and touching beauty. Grammar and punctuation are used in weird ways, but it adds to the cadence of the book. A true masterpiece.
A haunting, moving story of a man and his son in post-apocalyptic America and the question of what is the ultimate point of survival. Worth reading.
