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

I tried, I really did. Many people have said that people who read Steinbeck first, then McCarthy, can’t read McCarthy. I thought I could beat the allegations and read Blood Meridian. Unfortunately, it’s just not for me. The writing style is rambling and for 50 pages, I’ve been lost.

Maybe I’ll come back to it someday, but for now, I’m just not enjoying it and that’s really what matters when you read.
