Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West, by Cormac McCarthy, is worth your time, but is probably not a book for the faint of heart. I really enjoyed the story, though I have to feel a little guilty for saying so. The scenery itself is like another of the characters, and all characters are harsh, brutal, and real. The pace of the narration does not drag, and though you try not to flinch at the descriptions of horror and blood, flinch you do, and then you can’t resist turning the page to see what happens next.
Well done.
