I don't think Cormac McCarthy is my guy. An interesting expose of the hubris of man? the cruelty one is willing to endure? A reminder that we must rise above the perceived evil nature of mankind in the pursuit of greed and power? Loved the descriptions of how dirty, destroyed and dusty everyone's outfits were, however.
this... was not a good book. Unfortunate as it comes close to exploring some interesting issues (climate change, organizing to overthrow oppressive structures, what happens when a golem transitions from cold steel to flesh?) but other then these being simple plot points to hit and then move on, there's no subsistence here.
