Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

An unflinching but incredibly important work about human nature and a staunch criticism of the romanticization of the Western genre.
