All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

heidilreads's review against another edition

i don't think i'm a fan of mr. mccarthy's style of writing. i need some indication of who is speaking, but he chooses not to provide that. i think i might like the movie, sadly. i feel like i'm being lazy in saying that, but it is what it is.

I hate saying the word vibes, but this book is just that there’s not really a plot, but the imagery is really pretty. So if you wanna check out mentally and read imagery and have it kind of like lord of the rings of like no real trace of a plot, cool Enjoy it! I did. :)

Wow. A slow burn the whole time, but never do you feel bored with it. The way McCarthy paints the landscape is beautiful yet terrifying.
A story of love, of old ways, of internal struggle.
Phenomenal.

A surprise of a Novel upon my first reading. There are some paragraphs and sentences with such strong prose, you will reread them.
