They seem well suited for big screen adaptations though.

I cant stand his writing. His style, his pace...hes an awful author. He has the right idea with characters and story, but he should let someone else write. McCarthy has to be one of the worst authors ever in terms of readability.
But there is precedent. You know else is a terrible author? Hemingway.
Seriously, read some of his books. They're garbage. Its like they were written by a 6-year old.
Same thing. He has these wonderful, grand visions of settings and story and character and then you just envision your Grandpa sitting behind a typewriter trying to put it all on paper with one finger.
Its awful. I remember reading 'For Whom The Bell Tolls' and it was practically torture.
I will never live down the time my wife brought 'The Road' on our vacation to Mexico and I said 'Good Luck.'
Not only is it a horrible depressing novel but it feels like it was compiled by a dyslexic child. It took me eons to read that book. Because I never wanted to pick it up. Viggo showed me all I needed to know.
