No Country for Old Men

Cormac McCarthy uses his minimalist style to great effect in No Country for Old Men, making for an unstoppable and fascinating read. Most enticing perhaps is the villain character Chigurh, defined by an inconquerable will and a penchant for philosophical musings delivered to his future victims. The pitting of Chigurh against Llewelyn Moss reminded me of the dynamics between Russell Crowe and Christian Bale in 3:10 to Yuma, featuring an antagonist who demanded respect and a protagonist who wasn't perfect but won over your sympathies. Any scene featuring either of the two is impossible to stop reading. Hats of to McCarthy for grabbing hold and not letting go.
