Cormac McCarthy Ranked!

No Country for Old Men is a fantastic novel, so powerful. The film adaptation is brilliant too. Interesting ranking video, thanks.

The Falcon has landed! Making a bold number one pick! My list looks way different, but you have a very well thought out process with your rankings. Keep up the good work!

I’m so glad you ranked the Passenger so high. I had such intense feelings for Bobby and the characters he tried to befriend. The most emotional was in the periods he was totally alone, with the minute free-associating details of nature, tender descriptions of birds-whatever setting he found himself in seemed to continually revive him. I live or lived in several areas described, and it is accurate how many intellectuals and intuitive people find or lose themselves in NOLA and the coastal south. Well done! I’ll be reading your review next!

I am delighted that a fellow Arkansan appreciates Cormac McCarthy so much. I have read a few of his books and have plans to read more. I just discovered your channel and look forward to viewing more of your videos.

I love your reviews. I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers! But I’m sure they’ll all come. Keep reviewing - love it.

This dude is so underrated what an eloquent and thought provoking list, you’ve definitely made me pick up several of his books! As well as earned yourself a new subscriber! Keep up the great work Falcon!

Man. What a fabulous ranking. I started the video preparing to see the passenger in last place and the to rage quit. I think you nailed it. And The Crossing is much stronger than the other two borders, spot on man. Glad to see my tastes preferences transcend my marooned carapace.

Really enjoyed your take on these masterpieces!! Great job!

I just love your book reviews. None better.

Great video, very helpful!

I've found your channel thanks to mccarthy. Man, it's awesome! Full of thousand clever reviews! Btw my favourite mccarthy's book is suttree, my less favourite the road. But I'm going to reread all of them and everytime I do this, my most favourite book becomes the less favourite one. Thanks!

I'm just now stumbling onto this video and I loved your analysis of the novels. Also, I too live in Arkansas

Such a terrific video! I'm a new fan to McCarthy. Having read No Country multiple times--and having slogged through the horror of Blood Meridian, and The Road. Terrific writing; an overpowering genius.

I was about to get so mad at your placement of Suttree until I listened to your explanation, and then it made perfect sense. It's my favorite CM book, but I mainly read CM for the prose rather than the story. Glad you liked The Passenger, I really enjoyed it. It's nice he wrote so many great books for us all to endlessly re-read.

Thanks heaps for the video!! Wanting to read more McCarthy, I’ve only read The Road. Since watching Wendigoon’s video on Blood Meridian, my interest has been reignited and I’m so excited to devour some mcarthy books. Nice vid

I haven't read all yet but I completely agree with the way you differentiate between the first place and second. Unbelievable just how flawless Blood Meridian really is when viewed holistically. There just isn't anything I would change.

Very interesting. I've only read three of his novels at this point, but liked them all so far. I knew what your number one would be.

I enjoyed watching this video and hearing your thoughts about these books. I disagree with you pretty much from top to bottom, but it was great listening to you discuss this topic.

Hell yeah. I love the bold #1 choice. I'm one of those wicked souls who think Suttree is his best, but after that Id go with The Passenger as well. What a brilliant coda to Cormac's career.

I've been thinking about where I want to start with reading McCarthy, so this ranking is really helpful.
