You want a review of the book, or the movie? I can do the former. It's a good, quick, and entertaining read. The villain is a very memorable character. There is one segment that I think heavily detracts from the book, and there is at least one scene (or the lack thereof) that will likely piss off many viewers if the film stays close to the book. There are also a few plot holes.

It's a fine book but very much a minor work for McCarthy; it's simple both thematically and in terms of language.
