A work of superb historical fiction, matching Clavell's "Shogun" not in length but in the telling. a gripping narrative start to finish
Incredible. Disturbing. A masterpiece.
Hands down one of the best books I've ever read. Really eye opening in to the level of violence that was once a part of everyday life. I am not a fan of westerns, but I will be reading this again!!
Beautiful language, oddly used to follow a group of psychopathic mercenary partisans through the blood-soaked war and genocide of mid 19th century American frontierland.
I thoroughly enjoyed this narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed the different perspectives. It's a brutal, gruesome story, not for the faint of heart. It uses language that is not PC so I would refrain from listening to this out loud in public spaces. The story itself has many twists that really made my jaw drop. The Judge needs a story of his own.
Brutally poetic and infinitely compelling, Blood Meridian is a titan among 20th century literature.
Carnage, savagery and human loyalties intertwine in an epic journey across the very Wild West.
Very intense story. I enjoy the flowing narrative of Cormac McCarthy. Richard Poe is an excellent narrator.
great narrator
