The writing is, of course, in the classic John McPhee style: compelling and complex, but never feeling long-winded or unnecessarily verbose.
Each paragraph introduces a new facet of the story or a fresh perspective, giving as much or as little space as needed to faithfully present the idea.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys non-fiction essays or wants to understand any of the three topics they cover.

## *No Country for Old Men*

**Cormac McCarthy** <br>
Rating: NA / 5

This is my first Cormac McCarthy novel.
I knew he was a beloved American author, but didn't know that his books are highly symbolic and cerebral.
I underestimated the intensity with which I would need to study the text, and so I completely missed the point.
I finished the novel with a feeling of knowing I failed to understand something far deeper.
Maybe someday I'll reread this American classic, but for now I feel it is inappropriate to leave a rating.
