This was an extraordinary book. The language is beautiful and atmospheric and moody and elegiac as well as harsh and unforgiving. Anytime I read something this strong language wise, I am amazed that it is a debut novel. It has a Cormac McCarthy feel to it and the dialogue is pitch perfect in driving the story. This is something it usually takes writers awhile to learn. This writer has a great career ahead of him and I look forward to his next offering. In the meantime, if you want to explore the magnificence of the American West as reflected in human souls, read this book.
