I am constantly astounded by Cormac McCarthy’s literary genius. I can only hope to one day be nearly as good as he is. I have finished my second Cormac McCarthy books, Child of God, so let me tell you a bit about it. It is about the depravity of man and the haunting possibilities that the human hand can achieve. It is a story of about Good vs. Evil, about the degradation of an Appalachian highlander named Lester Ballard, and it is provocative, thought-provoking, and—literally—breathtaking. In complete honesty, when I started the book, I couldn’t figure out where McCarthy was taking the story. But halfway through, something happened, and I found myself floored. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the book, engulfing every word. After each setting of reading, I would sit down the book and just think, take quiet drives off-campus, letting the story soak into my mind. It is haunting, creepy, and leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth. A fantastic book.
