No Country for Old Men

I am currently reading no country for old men for my outside reading book report. It became widely known after the Coen Brothers made a movie based on the book. Its a story about a low income couple living in Texas, Llewelyn Moss and Carla Jean. One day while hunting Llewelyn comes across a very disturbing and astonishing site. Their are ford pickups everywhere shot up and a handful of dogs and men lying dead. When he walks up to the scene he discovers loads of heroine, and two million dollars. Not really knowing what to do or where to go, Llewelyn does what he will later regret, he takes the money. But it doesnt stop there. The money and heroine belong to one of the most dangerous drug dealing psychopaths ever known to man kind. He is a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to get his money and drugs back. Llewelyn takes his wife to go stay with her mother and Llewelyn is on the road running for more than just his safety, now its his life thats on the line.
No Country takes many unexpected twists and turns with constant action. Cormac McCarthy does a great job of portraing each character and not letting you want to set it down. It is a must read for anyone interested in gun fighting, high speed action, mystery, or just looking for a great novel.
