--Esquire
"As tough and violent as anything he has written.... He's a genius at building plot [and] one is swept along through the sheer mastery of form."
--The Denver Post
"A brutally satisfying thriller at its start, No Country for Old Men ends as a rueful, disquieting meditation on the effects of greed and violence."
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Electrifying.... [He writes] powerfully of fathers and sons, and of responsibility for oneself, one's family and one's community as a kind of patrimony that the very essence of modernity may have damaged beyond repair, warped beyond recognition, mutated so horrifically that a new kind of man, a soulless, wrecking angel, may not only be loose among us but may be what we are destined to become."
--The San Diego Union-Tribune
