No Country for Old Men (Abridged) Audiobook

" a man comes across a shoot out and walks off with some cash, chaos ensues "

" This was one of those books that grabbed me from the opening chapter. I had a feeling right from the start that I was going to really enjoy this story and I did. I had seen the film back when it first came out but after several years I had forgotten the story, so it was like coming back to it for the first time. I enjoyed most of all the settings of the motel after motel coupled with the feeling of being desperate, lost and on the run. Anton Chigurh is ranked up there as one of my favorite book villains! Following this up with a Blu Ray viewing of the film. "

" Great novel. Saw the movie and was amazed by it's nearly scene for scene recreation. "

" I actually enjoyed the movie more than I enjoyed reading this book but I enjoyed them both as a packaged deal. I felt there was a lot of questions left unanswered in the movie, which I saw before I read the book. The book went into more detail, obviously. It answered what was left hanging in the movie. I got a bit bored with Ed Tom's rambling but I loved the story. I would like to see a part two- movie and book. "

" My favorite McCarthy novel. It's a gritty tale told by the grittiest author alive today. "

" Great book - awesome movie! "

" Are you fucking kidding me? This book is so good it rapes your mind. I had to check into a home for battered readers when I was done. "

" Great movie, great book. And it didn't make me feel the need to down a bottle of Prozac like The Road did. "

" Great book. McCarthy is a wonderful story teller. The strength of the book is in the characters: Sheriff Bell in particular. "

" Nothing to write home about. "

" Excellent and brutal look at the dark side of our contemporary times. The title says it all. "

" Lots of hokey passages where characters stare into the distance and "think about their lives." Lots of eye-roll inducing writing, and nowhere near as good as the movie, which gestures toward perfection. "

" I liked it, and it should really receive more stars, I am just a little jaded by books without proper endings, with this being the second in a row. Beautifully crafted. "

" Dark humor, easy reading, great history, although I think Cohen brothers did a great job in the movie "

" Enjoyed this, but for once I actually enjoyed the movie even more. "

" I read this book about three years ago so I don't even know why it's on here, except that I wanted to copy his writing style and it was good. I guess I should read it again. "

" Intense story. "

" Cormac McCarthy has a violent streak. "

" Better than the Border Trilogy, but not as good as Blood Meridian or The Road. "

" I enjoy Cormac MaCarthy's writing style, but this one was pretty gruesome. "

" Nobody writes like McCarthy, unless it's maybeRichard Wright. Surprising, sad. I read just forthe dialogue that makes my heart sing. "

" McCarthy is the ultimate narrator of existential dread in an American idiom. "

" Cormac McCarthy has written a decent story. I'm aware that "No Country for Old Men" has been widely acclaimed. As you'll note from my rating, I found it OK. It just didn't capture my attention. "

" Makes you want a God with wrath as well as love. "
