Cormac McCarthy is an incredible author. His command of the English language is awsome. I am not a particular fan of novels of the Old West, but McCarthy could make his grocery list entertaining. He is discriptive in the extreme and his vocaublary is enormous. His tales are most often tragic and they just seem to stop rather than end. This is the tale of a necropheliac.If you want a story with a happy ending, skip his books. If you like a book where the author is able give your a vivid mental image of the setting and deep insight into the characters, you will not find a better writter. I have now read everthing he has published and place him among my favorite authors.
From the author of The Road and No Country For Old Men comes a book I dare them to film. It's the tale of a crossdressing necrophile lovers-lane killer. At various times harrowing, hilarious and rather moving. The lead character Lester Ballard definately deserves a place among the other bastard sons of Ed Gein like Norman Bates and Leatherface.

Difficult reading material since most of it was in illiterate local slang,..but once you get past that the story sinks into morbid depravity,..
