Blood Meridian
P**R
A piece of fiction that all adults should give a try.
It shows the dark side of wild westand the charecter of Judge Holden is so Terrifying yet Enjoyable. A masterpiece written by great sir Cormac Mccarthy for sure.

A violent antithesis of the American West.
After playing the video game Red Dead Redemption 2, I came across the book Blood Meridian in various subreddits as it has a few references in the game. I was intrigued so I bought the book without a second thought. But be warned. The story is vivid in it's description of brutality and bloodshed. So, unless you can't stomach a little bit of blood and gore, I'm afraid this won't be your cup of tea. Also, the author Cormac McCarthy is known for his polysyndetic usage of "and", and he also doesn't use quotations in dialogues. So, while the prose is still beautiful to read it may be difficult for some.Concerning the book, the Picador Collection paperback is probably the most affordable version available for the Indian subcontinent and on Amazon. The book was delivered to me in perfect condition without so much as a dent.

Book was in great condition and packaging
Book was delivered in great condition but better read atleast one page of this book before buying because the authors style of writing is rather unique and off putting to some people . But I adjusted to his style and now love reading the book .

Especially his 'No Country for Old Men's which is as fine a work as you can hope to read
I'm a fan of McCarthy. Especially his 'No Country for Old Men' which is as fine a work as you can hope to read. Blood Meridian's style suffers from a kind of overwrought intensity that eventually overwhelms the narrative completely. The author is trying to compel the style to mimic the complexity of his themes which never works well. It soon loses touch with the basic story telling structure without which it reads like meandering prose without solid moorings.As such it lacks the balance that we find in his later work. Of course, this is entirely my opinion and readers are free to disagree! For me, it is too conscious of the cleverness of its own style!

A really nice piece of literature, shows the perils of the frontier world. Its a book about savagery and barbarism of civilizations.

Book is awesome..
Book is awesome... But The Cover of Picador looks a little old... There's no plastic cover... It's rough, but I like it... For those who have bought it, please tell me if your books are the same too... Without plastic cover that is
