"The whole problem with news on television comes down to this: all the words uttered in an hour of news coverage could be printed on page of a newspaper. And the world cannot be understood in one page."

| |  | | | From The Publisher
"Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf."--BOOK JACKET.

This Book is Awesome
-- A reviewer, generally a cantankerous reader, December 4, 2001
Also Recommended: Gabriel's Story, by David Anthony Durham - It's similar material in some ways but with a multi-racial cast. It's really good actually, although I've no doubt that this first timer read some McCarthy before setting his own fingers tapping.
Here comes the judge!
-- A reviewer from VA, one of the last of the true, November 27, 2000
Blatantly powerful
-- Jack Skinner, a reader., May 1, 2002
Dracula has nothing on this novel!
-- Kurt, a teller of how it is, May 9, 2002
Also Recommended: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, Moby Dick by Herman Melville, Beloved by Toni Morrison, Going After Cacciato by Tim O'Brien
An amorality play -- prepare for impact
-- Michael Lane, July 24, 2000
| | | | The Reader's Catalog
The American West as continuous massacre: a stunningly visualized novel whose prose represents an original blend of dime novel and Old Testament.
| |  | | | The Word On The Street
A classic American novel of regeneration through violence. McCarthy can only be compared with our greatest writer with Melville and Faulkner, and this is his masterpiece.
—Michael Herr
