Riveting parts

This novel has been amazing to read, there has been suspense, human emotion and most of all violence.  Violence in this novel is actually overwhelming, from the first scene to the last there is constantly someone being hurt, or even killed and that is what kept me reading.  From one point to another people have been getting injured and the connection that the reader has to the characters makes that fact hit home.  For me I was most shocked when Llewelyn died at the end, the person that is portrayed as the main character gets slaughtered by the so call bad man.  For McCarthy to do this is a big unsuspecting point, most of the time when you read a novel the main character pulls through the tough times and becomes better for it, where as Llewelyn paid the ultimate price for his greed earlier in the book.  Finally the way the author finished the book is quite interesting, once again the so called bad guy "wins", yes he is injured in a brutal car crash but he walks away, once again avoiding the authorities.  What a way to end a novel, with the reader hanging, not knowing if there was justice done for Llewelyn, not knowing if this monster is still walking the streets.
