No Country For Old Men- Coramc McCarthy

This is not a very happy book. It's also filled with tons of violence. That being said however, I still liked it for some reason. I had to read it for one of my classes, so I was pretty rushed in the time I had to read it, but at the same time, I really wanted to finish it. Story puts you into the lives of three different characters: Chigurh, Moss, and Bell. They're very diverse, and the story is very well put together. Personally, I like this book way more than I did the movie, though many would argue the movie is exceptional.
