Quick read. McCarthy has a writing style all his own, which I enjoy to an extent. I could do without the lengthy, elaborate descriptions and the run-on sentences without commas. My eyes tend to glaze over these sections.
As for the story itself, I almost got the feeling that I'm supposed to feel sorry for this sick, deranged lunatic. Never. I also highly disliked that the book ("a child of god much like yourself perhaps") seems to imply there's a sick, deranged pervert in all of us at the core, which is disgusting and false.
3.5 stars since it held my attention, was short and somewhat shocking.
