slymer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 read the book a month ago. great, great book. cant wait for the movie.can someone recommend me another cormac mccarthy book? Blood Meridian Definitely Blood Meridian. Probably his best book. I've read All the Pretty Horses and The Crossing as well. Both are great.

andywax Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I read it last summer after reading No Country For Old Men. I really hope the film represents the book well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I just really like "end of the world" type themes, and hope the movie does the book justice. It's barely related, but I was so incredibly disappointed with the ending(s) I Am Legend had when they movied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I read the book but I think I missed something because I found it slow and boring. I bought it because the movie buzz seemed cool, I like Viggo, and No Country For Old Men. But I don't know... not convinced yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll76 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I read it before I knew there was going to be a movie, maybe that is kind of putting a different tone on your experience. I like Viggo too, but I'm glad I wasn't picturing him while reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
