Yet this book - No Country - it's the kinda' story that just takes you into the westerness of the story, that rolls off so easy - this story might even turn a would-be criminal in his tracks - might give a person who is mixed up in the drug trade cause to 'quit'.

It's interesting you should feel that.
The book ceretainly does not glorify violence, but would it make a hardened criminal change his mind?
I've always thought those people involved in drug crimes must be so hardened and unfeeling that nothing could reach them.

I think also making Chigurgh look unvincible would give those criminals a positive image of themselves-- should they choose to read the book.

No, no, no . . . guess I'm not wording that right - it might make a young person that's THINKING about getting involved in crimes, think twice about it.
