Mina’s Reviews > Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West > Status Update

I think it’s a real shit sign as a society that like, this book is known for its insane and relentless violence, and (while i have a feeling it’s going to get worse in the second half) so far it’s no more violent than the average netflix TV drama.

Cormac McCarthy’s writing style is like holding ur breath for as long as you can in the swimming pool when you’re a kid, trying to come up for air realising your about to pass out & being held underwater for a further twenty seconds by ur evil older brother.
