Cormac McCarthy
Vintage Books, 2007
Riveting, Spare, and Great
+ Living with No Hope
+ Awesome read
This is a great book that is also an absorbing and easy read. The brutal and brilliant simplicity of the book is remarkable. McCarthy imagines the world after the nuclear apocalypse in which everything is stripped away and then asks, "what's left?"
In part, the answer is the kind of evil ...

Impulse buy that definatly paid off
+ not just for teens
+ Read it in 24 hours
