I dropped Blood Meridian two-thirds of the way through. McCarthy's insistence of unnecessarily using big words and his gimmick of inserting gratuitous violence everywhere were exhausting.

It's not awful, but there was a clear mismatch between the high praise this book has received and my experienced while reading it.
