No Country For Old Men

Great book. Gets a little tough in parts with the writing style. I.e. lots of uses of “he” when there’s multiple male characters going on at once and a complete lack of commas and quotation marks. Still, it wouldn’t be the same without them so I’m glad they’re there.

Super interesting story and very page turny at parts. Chigurh is absolutely terrifying.

This is one of the pleasing cases where I’d say the film matches the book very closely.

One to read if you haven’t already and are fans of death and drama.
