  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

It felt slow paced, but in a relaxing way, not a dull way. The characters felt so believable in their world. The Judge was menacing and The Kid had more depth to him than most nameless protagonists. The whole gang told a story of a world and I loved my time in it.

Best read of the year for me.
It’s my first time reading McCarthy but it won’t be my last.
