The structure and style and content (I'd hate to use the concept of 'plotline' here) is different between books, too, yet still Cormac McCarthy. The only thing in common between the books is the characters, brother and sister and The Kid.

Both require a re-read, perhaps an interesting experiment would be to read in reverse order the second time around.(less)
