Cormac McCarthy's writing style is absolutely perfect in this book. No extra flowery words here,sparse, very descriptive and to the point. These are dark times but this is a love story between a father and son. This book is great for discussion about life values and choices. One of the best books I have ever read, this stayed with me long after I had finished it.

A fantastically addictive series of books. Some characters you love and some characters you love to hate! There's lots of action and few slow parts, but these are long books (each one seems to get longer) and require a big commitment of time. Not suitable for book clubs for this reason alone. I have finished book 5 and am eagerly awaiting the next installment which has no release date set yet. The slow pace of this author's writing is a common frustration with fans of this series.

Well written, Naomi Ash's story draws the reader in. But she is an unreliable narrator and we are never really sure what is real as the story unfolds, or even looking back after it is finished. This is what drew me into the story as well as the unique content of spiritualism. At its heart, this book is more about relationships than it is a mystery, although we don't know why she did it until 3/4 of the way through the book. A good choice for book clubs as I expect it will promote a lot of discussion.
