This book was on my girlfriend's bedside for a few weeks before I even looked at it. I started reading it, not very interested but immediately was sucked up in McCarthy's descriptions. Child of God tells of a man named Lester Ballard- a truly perfect name for him. He is in his late twenties and simply roams the Tennessee mountains. Why it never occurs to him to get a job is beyond me but he does get by living in caves and killing squirrels. It is strange and haunting. I have absolutely no complaints about it.
5/5
