I can't rate this book, because by enjoyment it's like a negative two out of 10. It's the mathematical opposite of enjoyment. Unenjoyment.

But I also can't give a book one star that does exactly what it sets out to do and is written very well. McCarthy wanted to explore the absolute depths of depravity humanity is capable of and make the reader uncomfortable and he did that. So 100%, Cormac. You completed the assignment. I'm never reading this again.
