The Ending

Well, I finished Blood Meridian last night, and I have to say that it left me with more questions than answers. Something clearly happened in the final pages of the novel, but I must confess that I'm not exactly sure what! I actually re-read the final three pages several times, looking for the answers I wanted to find, but came up with nothing. Perhaps that was McCarthy's point ... his book, like life, has no simple answers or clear cut ending ... we must take what we can from what we are given and then move on, changed and hopefully a little bit wiser.
