Notes:

  • Extraordinary writing. Deeply reverent and full of weight at times.
  • But deeply dull at times. Who knows.
  • Easy to tell this isn’t McCarthy at his finest. Apocalypse probably not the right setting to read his writing.
    • Probably going to read more McCarthy.
  • Ending redeemed most of the book.
  • And of course, not really a life in the apocalypse.
  • Thematically not as compelling as reviews suggest
  • Appreciate that I read this around the same time I picked up Project Zomboid

3.5/5
