The Crossing, by Cormac McCarthy

3.0

If this book hadn't been so well written, I would have stopped after the first 100 pages. The initial section of the book (the hunt for the wolf) was enthralling but, overall, it was one of the most depressing novels I've read. There was enough tragedy in the various stories to populate several country western songs and Greek plays. The story-telling was fantastic and kept me reading but I would not read this book again.
