" Breezy and quick listen, highly recommended.
The narration is very appropriate, and entertaining.
The storyline keeps the listener riveted the whole way thru. characters are necessary, and there are no waste of words. "

" The narrator on this audiobook is fantastic and does a range of voices well with appropriate accents given the story context. The story, however, was messy and relied far too much on enormous chunks of rambling, action-less dialogue followed by sudden explosions in action. None of the characters except for the main villain were interesting or felt worth investing in. Can't recommend this one. "

" No country for old men was surprisingly good but it got a little boring toward the end but it was still a pretty good. The book was about a guy named Moss that finds find a group of jeeps in the middle of the Texan desert. There he finds lots of dead bodies that seem like Mexican drug dealers, he looks into one of the cars and finds a a suitcase with 2 million dollars in it. Moss takes the money knowing that the drug dealers would come looking for him, throughout the book Moss continually runs away from getting killed. The book is filled with action and thats why I recommended it. PS I read the book for the extra credit opportunity but I never got an email telling me when the meeting was so I didn't go. "

" I found the story itself exciting, but the first person dialogue of the sheriff bored me. I began skimming towards the end after the "chase" was over. I enjoyed "The Road" much more. This one left me with no questions of my life choices or posing any what if scenarios. It was an entertaining read for a few days. "

" So what happened? I enjoyed this book when I read it in preparation for seeing the movie several years ago, but admittedly, I found it somewhat perplexing. The main plot thrust ends up having little meaning on its own. And the ending doesn't really end anything. The book just stops. So does the movie... in exactly the same way. Both made me say, "What?" That said, it's an engaging read. Difficult to put down. "

" Really great but drags a little in the final third. Might be my familiarity with the film that makes me feel this way (the film removes a few scenes and creates a bit more tension with another). Love McCarthy's dialogue. "

" Mc Carthys The Road is of the strongest reading experiences I have had. No Country for Old Men does not reach the same emotional fireworks, but is still very strong in both the story and the characters. A very strong four. "
