Story
The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

McCarthys writing style creates books that the reader brings to life with their own inflection. This narrator did a great job with the work.

Great book
great book but I found it hard to follow. The writing is extremely technical and descriptive and really puts you in location. This is backed up by a very skilled narrator who has an absolutely perfect voice for the job.

Barbarity before Beauty
A debauched odyssey of warfare, religious philosophy and nation building. A mesmerising vile nightmare of savage poetry. Its American Gothic literature at its finest. A justifiable perversion of the romanticized wild west where the depths of wickedness and depravity are explored without censorship. McCarthy juxtaposes the beauty of the landscape with the ceaseless violence of the men who sought to conquer it. Relaxing read.

A western by Hieronymus Bosch
A poetic but vividly gruelling epic that really only works as allegory. Everything and everyone can be read as symbol, which was, if I’m honest, the only way I could get through it. At the same time, I kept thinking of parallels with Australian frontier history and our national attempts to avoid facing it. The bottom line is that this is a masterpiece but, like many masterpieces, it demands serious commitment from its readers.

Brutual, but unbelievably poetic
Awed at the intricacy of the prose.
Lynchian in its peculiarity and Tarantino-esque in its banal brutality.
