I have read the "Border Trilogy," and "All the Pretty Horses" was my favorite, especially the horse breaking scenes and the scenes set in the Mexican Prison. BUT a lot of the time McCarthy leaves me scratching my head. Sometimes his stories go wandering off on tangents I just don't get (I sometimes fear I am just not intelligent enough to understand his point). This book however is more direct and simply laid out. A kind of modern day thriller that has so much more going on.
The basic story is this: While out hunting along the Rio Grande river, Llewelyn Moss, a Texas welder, stumbles upon $2 million, and a bunch of herion ready for the street all guarded by a dead man. Ross takes the money and is soon on the run from drug dealers, assassins, and the law. The author uses the plot as way to explore good and evil, heaven and hell, right and wrong; and do these things even exist? The book also contains plenty of action and some very gory, brutal scenes, so if you are bothered by graphic violence be forwarned! The Violence, though is central to the story and the issues the author is exploring.
To sum up this is an excellent thriller read with a lot more to say, than just entertain. I also recommend "Tourist in the Yucatan" another Violent thriller, set in Mexico, about a gringo on the run from people on both sides of the law, while also trying to find his missing wife.

Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds men shot dead, a load of heroin, and more than $2 million in cash. Packing the money out, he knows, will change everything. But only after two more men are murdered does a victim's burning car lead Sheriff Bell to the carnage out in the desert, and he soon realizes how desperately Moss and his young wife need protection. One party in the failed transaction hires an ex-Special Forces officer to defend his interests against a mesmerizing freelancer, while on either side are men accustomed to spectacular violence and mayhem. The pursuit stretches up and down and across the border, each participant seemingly determined to answer what one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life? A harrowing story of a war that society is waging on itself, and an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and duty that inform lives and shape destinies, No Country for Old Men is a novel of extraordinary resonance and power.

"McCarthy puts most other American writers to shame. [His] work itself replays the tight focus of his attention with its finely wrought craftsmanship and its ferocious energy."

Fantastic book
2024年3月26日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Great story. Cormac McCarthy is one of the best writers ever. The characters in this book are so good, and the writing sticks with you, to the point where you are trying to never forget some of the lines. Fantastic read!

Der wilde Westen, die Gewalt und die Meditation darüber
2023年6月23日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Ein Drogendeal, der in einem Blutbad endet. Eine Tasche mit zweieinhalb Millionen Dollar, die unerwartet den Besitzer wechselt und damit eine Orgie der Gewalt auslöst. Mitten drin: der alternde Sheriff Bell, der das Ganze reflektiert. Oder ist die Handlung selber nur ein verstecktes Symbol für tiefere philosophische Überlegungen?
Cormac McCarthy dringt in diesem Roman in ein Gebiet vor, das bisher nur Größen wie William Faulkner und John Steinbeck vorenthalten war. Nichts ist, wie es scheint. Das offene Ende wirkt auf den ersten Blick enttäuschend (wir erfahren nicht, wie es mit Anton Chigurh weitergeht) weist aber darauf hin, dass dieser Aspekt möglicherweise nicht der wichtigste im Roman ist. Hier ist der Leser gefordert. Fünf Punkte für ein ungewöhnliches Buch-auf den Film bin ich gespannt.

Better than the movie even
2023年6月20日にオランダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
'No Country For Old Men' is a gripping tale of fate, morality, and the relentless march of time. The narrative is taut and suspenseful, with McCarthy's characteristic sparse prose heightening the tension. The characters are complex and well-drawn, each struggling with their own moral dilemmas. McCarthy's exploration of the themes of justice, fate, and the nature of evil makes this book a compelling read.

A book that I wanted to read for a long time.
2022年3月29日にインドでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Honestly, I first heard about the movie based on this book. After hearing praises of the movie I did a little research and found out that there's a book upon which the movie is based. So I decided to read the book first and watch the movie after.
The only thing I disliked was the way it was packaged by the seller.
