re: Cormac McCarthy books

I read Blood Meridian and Child of God.

Blood Meridian was a difficult read because for some inexplicable reason, he doesn't use or often misuses punctuation in that book. It's weird. He does however have a good sense of history and does well setting the landscape and language.

Child of God is a better written but strange book. It simply tells a tale about a really fricked up hillbilly. It's set in Tennessee in the early 70's. It was an easier read than Meridian and fascinating in how it incorporated incest and necrophilia.
