One of my top ten favorite books. It's incredible.
I love McCarthy, but his writing style has changed over the years. His recent stuff is more Hemingway-ish (not as much flowery prose -- kind of stripped down), which I like. But Blood Meridian is beautiful in its descriptions and incredibly dense.
Good call, CC. It's an amazing book.
