Would it be Llewelyn Moss, who found a bunch of dead Mexicans in the desert with a briefcase full of cash with them? Or is it Anton Chigurh, who is trying to get the cash back at all costs, revealing himself as a coldblooded serial killer? But no, it is Ed Tom Bell, the sheriff, who we follow in the end.
In the beginning we don’t know who the story is really about, and it’s quite confusing. The three main characters of this book are Llewelyn Moss, Anton Chigurh and Ed Tom Bell. Although now finished it, I would never touch this one again. I would be lying if I said I liked it, but I admit the story became a little better later on. But the fact they made a very succesful movie out of it and a lot of people seem to enjoy the story made me pick it up again. The lack of punctuation, Southern dialect and too many point of views without any explanation who the characters are… It all made me just want to bury the book under a pìle of dust to be never found again. I actually started reading this one a few months ago, but couldn’t grow into the book and left it. I must be honest and say I wasn’t planning on finishing No Country For Old Men. And then one mornin you wake up and look at the ceilin and guess who’s layin there?” You might think you could run away and change your name and I dont know what all. What else is there? Your life is made out of the days it’s made out of. “You think when you wake up in the mornin yesterday dont count.
