This is the story of a drug deal gone bad. A man named Llewellyn Moss comes across a truck surrounded by a bunch of dead men. There is a case with over two million dollars in the back of the truck, as well as a large amount of heroin. He decides to take the money and run...setting off a very bloody chain of events. A ruthless outlaw is after him and the money. And a county sheriff is trying to piece all the events together, even as the dead bodies continue to stack up. Very gruesome.

No Country for Old Men was a very fast read once I got past the lack of attribution and quotation marks for the dialogue (which was sometimes even embedded in the text). Kind of confusing. (Did they say that out loud or in their head? Wait, who is talking? Who are they talking to? Argh!) However, I grew accustomed to the style pretty quickly. After all, I've read Saramago, so I can certainly handle a little McCarthy.

I would consider this to be a really manly-man book. Totally beer and nachos. Break out the plain white tee and the ripped Levi's.
