Helpful Score: 5
This is one of the best-written books I've read in a long time. McCarthy's style is different, but after a chapter or so, you realize it's the best style for the subject matter. Lyrical but terse descriptions of the world the two protagonists travel in---absolutely no fat. Every word is essential. Not a book to read if you need to be cheered up, but definitely a book to provoke thought on the human condition. I couldn't put it down.
