About this ebook
Llewelyn Moss, hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles upon a transaction gone horribly wrong. Finding bullet-ridden bodies, several kilos of heroin, and a caseload of cash, he faces a choice - leave the scene as he found it, or cut the money and run. Choosing the latter, he knows, will change everything.
And so begins a terrifying chain of events, in which each participant seems determined to answer the question that one asks another: how does a man decide in what order to abandon his life?

Well worth reading even after seeing the movie. Lots to think about. I think Cormac McCarthy has followed on from Hemingway in a lot of ways.

Wonderful, epic must read. If you saw the Oscar winning Coen brothers move then this will open your eyes

Not much of a story and too much superfluous waffle towards the end.
