Publisher's Summary
Llewelyn Moss is hunting antelope near the Texas-Mexico border when he stumbles upon several dead men, a big stash of heroin, and more than two million dollars in cash. He takes off with the money, and the hunter becomes the haunted. A drug cartel hires a former Special Forces agent to track down the loot, and a ruthless killer joins the chase as well. Also looking for Moss is the aging Sheriff Bell, a World War II veteran who may be Moss' only hope for survival.
Raw and lean, No Country for Old Men is another masterpiece from one of America's acclaimed novelists.
Critic Reviews
"No Country for Old Men gets off to a riveting start as a sort of new wave, hard-boiled Western....Harrowing, propulsive drama." (The New York Times)
"A mesmerizing modern-day western....While the action of the novel thrills, it's the sensitivity and wisdom of Sheriff Bell that makes the book a profound meditation on the battle between good and evil and the roles choice and chance play in the shaping of a life." (Publishers Weekly)
"Shades of Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, and Faulkner resonate in McCarthy's blend of lyrical narrative, staccato dialogue, and action-packed scenes splattered with bullets and blood. McCarthy fans will revel in the author's renderings of the raw landscapes of Mexico and the Southwest and the precarious souls scattered along the border that separates the two." (Booklist)

Excellent reading of a superb book.
The reading is superb - well done. The book is gripping and beautifully written. It poses some fundamental questions about America - many of them asked by the ageing sherif at the heart of the story. The writing itself exemplifies some of these problems, not least an infatuation with extreme violence and the guns that perpetrate it. Very strong sense of melancholy at the end of the book as the sheriff retires and America goes to hell in a hand basket.

no country for ANY person . . .
I have been readingp since early childhood. I was raised by devoted teachers.
My vision is failingp at 77 so I have to rely on others. The Audible reader of Cormac's text is very exceptional. And the book itself is ap journey through life itself. Melville himself constantly comes to mind - and then some . . .

Great crime story
I really enjoyed this. The synopsis looks like so many crime novels I nearly didn't buy it. Really glad I did. Well drawn characters and a good plot. The narrator really nailed the various people. Will look for more from this author.

Wow
A true feat of insight through storytelling.
This authors’ style can be difficult to follow in other works. This is clear and crisp and a time well spent

Old country with no men.
The book is better than the movie with the characters fleshed out and given the chance to breathe. Gritty and brutal with no Hollywood cheesy ending,
