Praiseworthy Pages

Reader Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5 stars)

Cormac McCarthy is so talented at taking a plot and turning what would normally be the crucial plot points into the part of his story that matters least, turning readers’ focuses inward. This book is no different. I loved reading this, even though I normally would never have chosen to pick it up myself. 

Language: 9/10 (Mild/rare swearing).
Sex: 10/10 (No sexual content).
Violence and gore: 5/10 (Disturbing imagery and self-defense).

Plot: 7/10 (I’d read it again).
Characters: 7/10 (Realistic and compelling! But it was hard to relate to characters that aren’t named).
Writing style: 8/10 (Beautifully written, and McCarthy’s style is so unique).

Genre: New adult literature, adult literature, apocalyptic fiction, realistic fiction
Potential triggers: Murder, cannibalism, starvation, etc.
Is this book part of a series? No.
I would recommend this book to anyone 18+.
