By: Cormac McCarthy
No Country for Old Men is a modern western. McCarthy perfectly captures the clash between the traditional west and the ever-flattening world. I usually don't love non-fiction literature, however, McCarthy has proven to be a master storyteller. I read this book in 2 days. The story is raw and brutal and has since been turned into an award-winning screenplay. I have to say....the main point of the whole book was lost when it was translated to the screen.
Even if you've seen the movie you won't be disappointed by the book since the movie doesn't even follow the same storyline. This is one of the best fiction books I have ever read and was convincing enough to get me to read more McCarthy.
I just started a book called The Moonstone about India
