I also have only read The Road.... awesome book. But earlier I read a review for McCarthy's book The Crossing that has me ready to head out to the book store/ library to find it ASAP. Maybe I'll update with another review when I read it too.
Carrie Collins McKinney 8 months agoChild of God is stupendous!
Sarah P. White 7 months agoOuter Dark was recommended to me. I have since read it, and find it to be one of the best and most disturbing novels I've ever read. An amazing read, but not for the weak of heart. I also loved The Road. I have been told that Blood Meridian is great too. Next up for me are All the Pretty Horses and No Country for Old Men.
Lauren Kaufman 7 months agoBlood Meridian is pretty bad ass. It's McCarthy's writing at its best. I've heard good things about Child of God too.
Facebook User 7 months agoThe Orchard Keeper was my first, and still my favorite. The Border Trilogy was pretty good, too, though I don't remember which I liked the best. Blood Meridian is gross at times, so it was a bit hard to read. All of the books I've read by McCarthy are great though.
Alexandria Brady 7 months agoI am listening to my first Cormac McCarthy book now, The Road. I have to say it is captivating.
Lynn K. Jones 7 months agoBlood Meridian, then All the Pretty Horses
Facebook User 7 months agoBlood Meridian is one of the best books I have ever read. Brilliant description, brilliant story. I would definetly recommend it.
Stephen L Smith 7 months agoThe Crossing. It's really not even close with any other, as good as they are.
Shane Cross 6 months agoWhat a hard choice. Blood Meridian was the first McCarthy book I read, and it was hypnotic. Suttree also knocked me out, as did All the Pretty Horses. But if I had to pick just one it would be The Road.
Alec Clayton 5 months agoBlood Meridian. Brutal.
Clay Corbin 5 months agoAlthough I haven't read Suttree, I think Blood Meridian is McCarthy's best book.
Facebook User 4 months agoI've only read two of his books. No Country for Old Men was a fantastic examination of violence in modern society. The my favorite to date, was a devastating profile of the human spirit persisting even in the complete absence of hope. Do these constitute McCarthy's best work? After reading the previous reviews, I'll reserve judgment until I have had the chance to read more of his work.
Facebook User 4 months agoFor me, it's got to be All the Pretty Horses. I love that book.
Lisa Stein 4 months agoEither Suttree or Blood Meridian. I can't quite decide.
Nick Williams 4 months agoMcCarthy's best book is "Blood Meridian," but it isn't saying much. It's like arguing over which is Brendan Fraser's best acting role.
Cam Ludwig 4 months agoHee hee! (That would be "The Quiet American.") As for McCarthy, Blood Meridian is his best; but, I still stand by Child of God. The Road is his most accessible.
Sarah P. White 4 months agoSuttree. No question about it. As good as all his books are, this is the one that completely blew me away when I read it.
Facebook User 4 months agoThe Orchard Keeper is my current favorite - but I also loved The Crossing. (And ALL the Pretty Horses)...(and The Road)...(and NO COuntry for Old Men). (Oh, hell, the man is just a genius!
