I finished reading Blood Meridian. I’ve never audibly gasped so much at any book. Probably the most violent book I’ve read, but clearly describes war both physical and spiritual. I never reread books, but this one left a mark and I will definitely revisit.

There is no way Hollywood could make this movie and do it justice. Apparently, Ridley Scott has tried to pitch it several times, remaining completely faithful to the book, but no one will fund it due to the violence.

Wendigoon made an excellent summary and commentary video on the book. Trust me, the five hours will fly by!
