  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I’ve never seen someone paint a scene like McCarthy. The subject matter here is difficult and I don’t always agree with his approach but the relentless power of this story is undeniable. Certainly worth a read.
