I really enjoyed it. The version I checked out from the library also had a forward by Bloom which greatly enhanced my understanding of the book, particularly the parallels drawn to Melville.
I don't yet know whether I "liked it" as entertainment value, but I definitely enjoyed the colloquies from the judge. I reflexively enjoyed the prose as something different than I am accustomed to reading. Interestingly, some person who had checked the book out previous to me had slipped a photograph into the dust jacket which appeared to be of high desert with mountains in the back ground, with a few small trees and mostly scrub brush. I also found the themes of rebirth through bloodshed and war as the highest form of human expression to be thought provoking. For those of you who are McCarthey fans, which book would you suggest I read next?
