Remaining on the margins of the outcast community there--a brilliantly imagined collection of eccentrics, criminals, and squatters--he rises above the physical and human squalor with detachment, humor, and dignity. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - suttreeIncomprehensible..Boring, A waste of money.. I you want to spend time trying to unravel what the heck this man is trying to say, then do so..I gave it my best shot and in disgust tossed it into the waste basket. Rating:  - McCarthy, Simplified.Suttree is much more simplistic than The Border Trilogy, and No Country for Old Men. Consequently, the language is not as beautiful. McCarthy, in writing Suttree, was only honing his skill towards greatness. Rating: - Brazenly Anti-Plot I read this book because it is on the Modern Library's Top 100 List. This is by far the worst novel I've ever read in my life! There is no plot, it is boring, and very very long. It seems like the author couldn't make up his mind what to write about and just randomly threw in different scenes that could've made up a series of completely different stories. It's like reading a book of short stories where each story starts and then abruptly switches to the beginning of something completely different ... Read More Rating:  - Great!This is an amazing book. I finished it in 4 days and started all over again. Not for children though. Rating: - Fantastic."Mr Suttree...the new day commences and contrary to conduct befitting a person of your station you betook yourself to various low places within the shire of McAnally and there did squander several ensuing years in the company of thieves, derelicts, miscreants, pariahs, poltroons, spalpeens, curmudgeons, clotpolls, murderers, gamblers, bawds, whores, trulls, brigands, topers, tosspots, sots and archsots, lobcocks, smellsmocks, runagates, rakes, and other assorted and felonious debauchees." ...
