Week 7 Post B

Dear Cormac McCarthy

You never cease to amaze me with your writing talent. I have already read your first book, All the pretty horses, and so far your second book has lived up to all of the standards of your first book and more. The thing that I like most about the books are the unexpected events that keep me glued to the book. I have read many books where the authors make pitiful attempts at suspense and surprise twists but you have a way at making the story flow even when there is a life shattering event. I also find that even though you book is set in the future, I find every aspect of it believable and interesting. Normally I would question every twist and turn of a science fiction/futuristic novel but you simplicity and poetic nature has won me over.
