I give this novel a 4.5 star rating. It is a heavy book, with graphic descriptions and gruesome topics, some of which are more difficult to read. However it captures the attention of the reader and is well written.

The kid is freed from jail by a mysterious man named Judge Holden, who the kid had briefly met back in the states. Shortly after, he joins Glanton’s group and kills for a living. Judge Holden quickly becomes an antagonist, and frequently describes the kid as weak.
