) This book is McCarthy at his most apocalyptic. The Road is for pussies...if you want to read a GREAT book that pulls no punches and requires a certain fortitude, this one might be a good choice.
NOT FOR THE TIMID, Blood Meridian is extremely violent, bloody and gothically disturbing. You'll LOVE it more than Moby Dick.

Blood Meridian
) disturbingly violent, yet one of the most poetic and evocative books I've read. Amazing use of language. I listened to it via eAudio and had to get the printed version.

Cormac McCarthy is GenuisReview created: 10/03/07

) I bought this book to read something else by Cormac McCarthy. I had read "The Road".....I always try to read the Pulitizer winner every year just out of curiosity. When I picked up "The Road"....I could not put it down.....McCarthy's writing was like a great symphony placed so tactfully on the written page....a beautiful book. I was curious about McCarthy's other works and ordered Blood Meridian....I was not disappointed. McCarthy's dark subject matter combined with his unbelievable ability to command the English language...the reader cannot help but "live" the book. Would definitely recommend. I am going on to read McCarthy's other works.

Recomended by various authors - found it to be unusual in it's writing style, but riviting as the story line progresses - Haunting and well worth the read!

Cormac McCarthy is an incredible author. His command of the English language is awsome. I am not a particular fan of novels of the Old West, but McCarthy could make his grocery list entertaining. He is discriptive in the extreme and his vocaublary is enormous. His tales are most often tragic and they just seem to stop rather than end. If you want a story with a happy ending, skip his books. If you like a book where the author is able give your a vivid mental image of the setting and deep insight into the characters, you will not find a better writter. I have now read everthing he has published and place him among my favorite authors.

It took me almost 2 months to get this book.It is late high school to college reading level.I wanted this book after I heard SISKEL AND ROPER talking about it.I was going to get it from my library,but they didnt carry it. That right there told me it was going to be great.IF you like time pieces of violence,sick humor,justice,and a classic struggle in an older america,THIS is the book for you.I LOVED THIS BOOK-5 STARS.WORTH READING!!!

An Epic MasterpieceReview created: 10/26/06

) This is one of my favorite books, tied only with Catch-22. That is not to say that if you are a fan of Catch-22, you'll enjoy this book also. The writing itself is very good, creating amazing imagery, albeit sometimes a bit hard to grasp because of the lack of punctuation and sprinkling of convoluted sentences. These two things only add to the atmosphere that McCarthy creates as the story progresses. The biggest selling point for this book is the character of Judge Holden. He is a majestically evil entity unrivaled in any book I've read. If you like the idea of Paradise Lost, of Satan being a character with a story, this book may be a good choice for you. I've also read McCarthy's latest book, No Country For Old Men, and while I think it is also a good read, I greatly prefer Blood Meridian. Note, many scenes in the book are incredibly violent.
