Has anyone read the "Bourne" novels? I love the movies - how are the books?
I personally really liked "No Country For Old Men." Thought the book's ending much better than the movies...which just sort of ended with no resolution regarding the killer (like you get in the book).
McCarthy is a tough go, and I get the feeling that he is a supreme egotist. I personally thing that "Blood Meridian" is a sham - I get the feeling it was written expressly to put a novel on the reading lists of thousands of college English and writing classes all over the country. He takes what would have been a nice, tight, gritty frontier story and turns it into an orgy of pseudo-literature. (End of rant.)
