Another story based on Moral Relavance
I read this book as part of my reading list on a vacation to Germany and Italy. After seeing the trailer for upcoming movie, I was intriqued enough to read this book. I was disappointed.
The reviewer from Publishers Weekly sees the novel as coming to grips with a new type of criminal. Sorry, but those type of deviants have been with us since the dawn of recorded history. What the novel is about is moral relavancy - every character in this book has a flaw which the author uses to state that there are no heroes. The good guys all have flaws that more or less makes them impotent against evil. The "good guy" - Sheriff Bell - loses in the end and the evil sociopath succeeds.
Sorry, but I just cannot recommend this book to anyone.
So-So
Definitely not up to McCarthy standards. This book is confusing. Not realistic at all. I skipped the last 25% because it was so unbelievable and impossibly unreal.
The villain is terrifying, actions and motives
The villain is a human terminator! He follows rules of conduct not governed by morality. They're a program that must be executed. It's frightening to think someone like this could exist in the world....
Readers should have a well formed sense of reality and self. Very disturbing, and not for the timid or young (i.e., inexperienced).

Product Description
In his blistering new novel, Cormac McCarthy returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of his famed Border Trilogy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones.
One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law–in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell–can contain.
As Moss tries to evade his pursuers–in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives–McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines.
No Country for Old Men is a triumph.
