Just finished this, great read -- I might even read it again.
Dark, post-apocalyptic awesomeness with language that could only come from McCarthy's style.

Read this the other week, fucking amazing.
I can't wait for the movie, there's some stills on imdb

weird, I read this last week as well. SUPER fast read. It SORTA reminded me of Dark Tower stripped of 9,000,000 pages of bullshit.

hahahaha i need to read this before the movie, the movie looks awesome
[Feb 5,2009 11:34am - largefreakatzero ""]
I imagine the movie will be unbelievably grim.

I read this front to back on the drive down to MDF. Absolutely surpassed my expectations, the story is an absolutely TERRIFYING vision, his descriptions of the post-armageddon landscape are fucked. The end actually made me cry a little.
Really REALLY looking forward to the movie, but I recommend reading the book first.

Good book, I read it a couple years ago. Really looking forward to the film now, I figured it would have been out a while ago...

Damn, that picture looks exactly how things looked in my head when I was reading the book.

the director also did "The Proposition" which is free on demand now i think. Brutal

I wasn't amazed by this. It was slow in parts but when it was awesome it was fucking AWESOME (a la cannibal house)

The friend who loaned it to me hyped it way too much.

Such a good book. Then again, how could the man who penned No Country let ANYONE down?
