I finished that motherfucker “Blood Meridian.”
It actually became quite gripping in the last third or so. Or maybe I got more used to the writing style.
Anyway, wow, what an apocalyptically depressing book.
The Judge Holden character is certainly the most compelling piece of it all, and he’s also the most well written character. Perhaps the ONLY character that’s “written” in any traditional sense. The other bodies occupying the book are mostly just that: bodies. Vessels. The Judge has a personality and it’s a frightful one.
I guess I didn’t hate it after all.
