"Three wonderful novels set on the southwest border in the early to mid 1900s. Very "western" but even if you don't like western's, these books are so well written and the stories so effecting, you won't come away unchanged. Over a thousand pages all together so be prepared."
"Just regarding _All the Pretty Horses_: Sights, sounds, and smells in this novel (particularly those associated with horses and weather) have a tendency to turn into echoes of abstractions and hint at secret truths etched in the dark heart of being. That's striking imagery the first time and maybe even the second, but self-parody by the end. And the general theme that Mexico is impenetrable to foreigners--brutal, repellent, painful, and incomprehensible but nonetheless strangely alluring to naive, rugged Americans--is just garden variety exoticism. Still, it's pretty decent overall: several small tragedies that hang together well in a bleak, violent, beautiful setting."
"I am seriously never inviting this guy McCarthy over for a dinner party...whatever goodness and light his characters find at one point in the story eventually is engulfed by pain and darkness. But I am never ceased to be amazed at the high-wire act he pulls off with his words...I ought to be throwing the book across the room in disgust at the arch and over-developed prose, but instead, I get lost in it. One of the best prose stylists I've ever read."
"A lot of pain to read through before the end. All the pretty horses stands pretty well on its own. I still am haunted with the tragedy. Don't remember much about the Crossing. Left with the image of an elderly cowboy crossing a freeway from cities of the plain. Perfect ending to the trilogy."
