Helpful Score: 1

There was no arc to the plot and little character development. If there were a a young father in my realm who I felt could do a better job parenting and needed to see what a an unconditionally loving relationship with one's children should look like, I might suggest he read it. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Too depressing. I kept reading because I kept wanting something to happen, to be revealed, but I was sorely disappointed. McCarthy's prose, however, is unique and sometimes beautiful. I liked the sentences more than the book as a whole, if that makes sense.
