What did I say, huh? What the fuck did I say? Didn't I say it? Yeah, of course I fucking said it.
It was heavy but far more uplifting than its content and reputation would let one believe. No wonder everyone and their mom, from Telltale's The Walking Dead to Logan to The Last of Us, tried to steal this book's entire flow, even if few managed to achieve the same effect to the same extent.

It's been almost a week since this book showed me an image so nightmarish and haunting I'm still not quite over it
Flipping the coin, I also see these last 30 or so pages have been almost, dare I say it, positive.
This can only mean Cormac McCarthy has his scope pointed right at my forehead and he thinks I won't notice.

Letting out a defeated "man..." every 10 minutes, broken off by an exasperated gasp and a tight grip on the nads every 30.
