Product Description

 
The first volume in McCarthy's Border Trilogy, ALL THE PRETTY HORSES begins with the death of John Grady Cole's grandfather. John Grady, age 16, has lived with his grandfather for much of his life, and when the old man dies and the family home--a ranch in Texas--is sold, John Grady and his old friend Lacey Rawlins take off for Mexico, looking for a place in a world that seems increasingly hostile. Almost immediately, they encounter trouble, and the trip is studded with death, loss, violence, stolen horses, and thwarted love. By the time John Grady returns home--alone--he is irrevocably changed.

Review: Here's another of my genre book reviews! I must note that I loved this book. If my analysis of ALL THE PRETTY HORSES suggests to you that I think the book failed, then I'm sorry. All I'm saying is that the book failed as a western; it succeeds most...

Not your Louis L'amour western

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2000
Review: All the Pretty Horses, the first book in Cormac McCarthy's The Border Trilogy, is the kind of book that pushes beyond the boundary of genre. Here, McCarthy sets up a typical western plot. John Grady, a youth, and his friend Blevins ride into Mexico...

  Foote, Shelby: "The novel's hero, as in the five that came before, is the English language, or perhaps I should say the American language. In either case, the book itself is truly heroic and an unabating pleasure to read."
