Deal Details
Various Retailers have No Country for Old Men (eBook) by Cormac McCarthy for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

Available from:About this book:
  • The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law—in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell—can contain.
  • As Moss tries to evade his pursuers—in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives—McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.

The movie has a lot of brilliant silence and the book shows the thoughts that go on in that silence in a wonderful way.

The movie is excellent but so is the book. The audiobook has a fitting narrator for this story if listening is better.

It's probably more accurate to say that this is one of the few movies that are just as good as the book. And while the movie is very true to the book, they're still a little different. Easier to see the real meaning and life lessons in the book, though the characters are more vibrant in the movie. I love both for good reason.

The book adds some context to the events in the movie, such as the reason Chigurh is in custody at the beginning.

This triggered a $5.45 add-on for the Audible book for me. $8 for the e-book and audio book together is pretty good.

As others have said the book and movie compliment each other / definitely worth reading if you've seen and enjoyed the movie. If you read this and enjoy it would also recommend checking out Cormac's other books, Blood Meridian in particular is an amazing read that is very unlikely to ever get a good adaptation.
