tarshaan (Ireland) (2009/09/01):
sparse, lovely writing. enthralling characters, well-shaped as much by what isn't said as by what is. Very grim, but there's an underlying beauty for all that, like light reflecting harsh off hard and hard-angled surfaces. Sheriff Bell in particular is engagingly philosophical - aged, confronted by difficult truths he can't see any choice but to face up to, he's reminiscent of a world that never really existed.
Well-written, and well worth the time to slide inside McCarthy's trademark writing style.
