Have just read this, it was sitting on my coffee table, can't remember who left it there but I didn't buy it.
Have seen five minutes of the film, no more, but Coen brothers stuck close to the script according to on-line reviews. I found this an arresting piece of prose because of what McCarthy leaves out and what he conveys. I had a clear visual notion of many scenes where there was very little descriptive detail. Spare prose does not automatically have that effect, it can just seem dull. So, ok, I'm no McCarthy expert, I think this is the only book of his I've read, but there was some genius in this work and it led me to delete a few adjectives in mine.
