Cormac

Last night I finished reading 'No Country for Old Men' by the great Cormac McCarthy. If I were limited to using one word to describe the book it would be the same word that I would use for the movie, INTENSE.

The movie was pretty close to the book. Minor differences, slight changes to slim some of the dialogue down. Perhaps most telling is that the Coen Brothers had Anton Chirguh speak even less, which is a shame because the extra dialogue really pushed him into being even more insanely scary, if that is possible.

Such a good book, but I have to say I think it affected my mood this past week. Unfortunately I was already feeling down in the dumps, and this book did nothing to help it. Regardless, great read.
