McCarthy has this way in his writing to build the most subtle yet powerful suspense. Every single decision Moss makes has you questioning what will come next. Chigurh gets more terrifying as the overlooming threat by the page. And the ignorance of what the sheriff has himself into is wild

🪙 = life or death

Wow. The chilling description of Chigurh that McCarthy gives truly shows the lack of like, humanity he has. Then the description of the world around them is amazing. A little challenging to follow since McCarthy doesn’t use a whole lot of punctuation but I’m getting used to it. Then when we go over to Moss, he really does give as McCarthy says, a “good ol boy” aesthetic. Very excited to continue
