Really good book. Chapter three reminded me of the shawshank redemption. It's definitely the climax of the novel.

It was startling how much I enjoyed this read. Gut wrenching and stomach turning and tear jerking and horses!!!

Desolation. Love. Horses. Beauty. Truth. The dispassion of the world as we strive to live. And change. Always change.

To be perfectly honest, I couldn't get through this book. There were moments when I did get into it which is why I gave it 2 stars, but I had a hard time maintaining interest.

I love McCarthys writing style! I don't usually like Westerns and I'm no great fan of horses, but this was beautiful and raw. It felt like something out of another world.

He thought that in the beauty of the world were hid a secret. He thought the world's heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world's pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower. p.282
