Certainly not as riveting as The Passenger. It's simply a dialectic journey between a traumatized woman and her psychologist in the mental ward. There is lots of interesting scientific philosophy; specifically regarding mathematics and mathematians.
If you liked Labatut's When We Cease to Understand the World, then you'll like this.
I can't imagine the amount of research into mathematics and physics that McCarthy had to do in order to write both this and The Passenger.
A final note: There is significant overlap in the worldview of Alicia and No Country For Old Men's Anton Chigurh, which really has me wondering about the worldview of Cormac McCarthy...because that worldview is pretty bleak.
