That is not much of an accomplishment and I say that as someone who likes Suttree.

Wasn’t the plot sort of a cliched? You could see what was going to happen way ahead of time.

now do the Crossing. it surely is McCarthy's peak t. I've read all his books except the orchard keeper which I didn't finish. it's like all the best of ATPH but with less boring history discussions with a mexican ranher and more intense despair and action

You are getting the two books confused. The Crossing is the book with the history/philosophy discussion sections. But yes, the Crossing is the best book in the border trilogy. Corncob's best is Suttree OP is wrong.
