No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy

I picked up this book just because the plot sounded interesting and i hadn't heard any of the hype about it. The plot is based around a man who comes across a drugs deal near the mexico border that has gone wrong and left everyone dead with the money and drugs left. He decides to take the monet and run. All $2.3 million. From this point on he is a dead man running. Various nasty characters chase him.

I found it a gripping text that was hard to put down. It was easy and fast to read, although the constant Texan language was sometimes hard to follow. If you want a book to while away the hours and keep you entertained then hear it is. If you want a piece of gret literature, then look else where.
