      Prompt replies from the seller. Was expecting shipping to take at least a week but it was delivered in 3 days. The books were packaged well. They are in great condition, exactly as described and pictured. Some were in better condition than expected, practically brand new. Compared to buying them separately, or buying other sets that I've seen, this was a great value for the lot. Very satisfied with this purchase!

      I was very impressed with the super fast shipping by this seller, and the used book was exactly as described, and represented great value and was in good condition, and very well packaged. I appreciated that they carefully wrapped the book in bubble wrap and sent it in a box whereas other sellers use much flimsier packaging for used books.

      A harrowing Western with brains and wit

      McCarthy is brilliant and it shows. This novel is vivid and brutal.I would also venture to say this book is not for everyone. McCarthy's style is a bit difficult; he often omits commas, uses long (long) sentences and fragments, does not always capitalize proper nouns, which can cause confusion on a sentence-by-sentence basis (this does not affect my understanding of the events taking place in the chapter/novel). Some sections, usually descriptions of gore or scenery, just read easily and beautifully, but then you are hit with an outlandish word that you'll later find is old cowboy jargon, the scientific name of that plant, animal or geography, or a Spanish word (none of the Spanish is translated). All this aside, it is still completely comprehensible and can be deeply philosophical, if you ...

      Cruelty Narrated with Appalling Casualness

      So disappointed as this is touted as Cormac McCarthy's best book. I've read and viewed "The Road" - Liked; viewed "No Country..." and had looked forward to reading the book. I enjoy Elmore Leonard's Westerns, but "Blood Meridian" is too rough for me. I'm half-way through and still can't get into it. Not enjoyable, and the outright cruelty depicted is truly appalling.

      Diabolical

      The story revolves loosely around a runaway kid who falls in with a low-life militia bent on killing. The story highlights some of the worst and most graphic incidents in the decimation of Apache and plains Indians. It is violent and bloody; it tells the story of a depraved gang of bounty hunters who murder and scalp their way from Mexico to California. If you don't want to be disgusted, don't read this book. On the other hand, the writing is at once erudite and arcane and has a certain appeal to English language dilettantes who favor an esoteric form of vocabulary and expression. You will meet a couple of well developed and extremely diabolical characters, "Glanton" and "Judge Holden." The judge is a complex man of parts and one of the few surviving gang members.

      The greatest novel from a great author in his prime

      Straight up masterpiece from a great author in his prime. This particular print, the 92 Vintage, is also beyond stellar. Dark blocky text that fits perfectly for Blood Meridian’s almost biblical vibe

      Beautifully written horror.

      Reading this book is like slowing down to stare at a terrible auto accident. It's one inhuman, frightening, bloody event after another, featuring monstrous, despicable characters, and all described with mesmerizing and flowing prose. Does Cormac McCarthy really view life and people like this? And why can't I stop reading through one shock after another? Spoiler alert: your opinion of the human race will not be improved by reading this book.
