REQUIRED READING FOR ALMOST EVERYBODY

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2000
Review: (This is a review of the complete BORDER TRILOGY, ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is the first book in the trilogy)

I finished Cormac McCarthy's BORDER TRILOGY (ALL THE PRETTY HORSES, THE CROSSING, and CITIES OF THE PLAIN) this afternoon. I knew last...

Educated by L'Amour, reading McCarthy

Date of Review:  May 30, 2000
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...

Ride Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: rode a horse, once. When he was 7.
Review: After reading Cormac McCarthy's stellar The Road, I immediately felt pressed to pick up the older and more popular All the Pretty Horses. Some might label the author's non-grammatical method as pretentious, but ignoring all that, it is undoubtedly...

Western Movies

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2000
Review: I think that all western movies are great for the kids and the whole family! There is something about them that make the movies so great and makes you want to watch them over and over. Now days it seems that everyone has lost touch with the western...

All the Pretty Horses

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended, especially for those who think American literature has lost its artistic integrity...
Review:
Cormac McCarthy writes likes he doesn't care if you ever read one of his books. Many authors, even the good ones at times, are guilty of pandering to an audience or trying a bit too hard to please others outside of themselves. From the very...

A must-read classic Western

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 1999
Review: When I think of Westerns, I think of John Wayne and maybe Clint Eastwood. I think of hokey films where the only women are prostitutes and the only men who do good are big white guys with strong jaws. It might be a generational thing, but I've never...

All the long sentences that have no commas!

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2000
Review: I liked this story very much. I felt a great deal of sympathy for the main character, John Grady Cole, and his companion, Lacey Rawlins. I thought the plot was well done and not unbelievable, and its epic-like structure adds a lot to John Grady's...

A profound lesson on self-discovery and loyalty

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2000
Review: I love stories of the American West, particularly those with stoic, rugged characters such as in Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove. John Grady Cole, protagonist in All the Pretty Horses, is pretty much a descendant of such characters. A 16-year-old...

Excellent and terrible

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2001
Review: I finished reading All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy a couple of
days ago. I've got good news, and I've got bad news. But maybe the
bad news is merely irritating.

All The Pretty Horses is as magnificent as Lonesome Dove, and...
