Fermin got worked… Marco and Becky are insane. This book is showing how twisted these folks are but how they rationalize it by doing “good deeds” even though they’re destroying the community. It’s wild to know a lot of this took place in my hometown.

Pablo is feuding with Fermin. I love how he says “Why should they suffer for a cued between me and another man?” This statement really shows what set Pablo apart from others. It’s a slight empathy that is quite honorable.

The Yuma Indians just FUCKED Glanton. I’m happy about it, he was a psycho path of depressive energy just wasting people and himself. I think Glanton wanted to die when they were outside of El Paso, when he remembered his wife and child and at that point he committed himself to carnage and decided to go out in a blaze.

What the fuck is going on.. they’re just murdering everyone, The Judge bought 2 dogs off a kid in the streets and threw them in a river IMMEDIATELY.. idk where tf The Kid is.

There seems to be a balance of good and bad as you read. Every time a character makes an even semi-decent attempt at goodness, it’s met with an unrivaled act of atrocity. I loved the fight in the shallow lake… but why did the judge take the young boy, play with him and show him some affection, JUST TO MURDER HIM AND TAKE HIS SCALP?

It’s all about money, was it just an escape? That will live with me forever..

Getting used to the writing style has been challenging. Minimal punctuation blurs the speech with the descriptiveness. The lack of formal punctuation feels like it keeps me on edge and in delirium like The Kid.

The landscape descriptions are so detailed and often require look ups for the definition but are beautiful. I feel like frames are pained in my mind. Each scene blends together as they move forward.
