All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

Yet, another amazing novel by McCarthy.

All The Pretty Horses is extremely descriptive and beautifully written. McCarthy's love for the southwest shows in his writing. The story follows the adventures, travels and hardships of two young men. McCarthy captures the beauty, sadness, sights, sounds and smells. The novel does contain many Spanish phrases and if you are not familiar with spanish or have a handy spanish to english dictionary you will lose aspects of the story.

You are completely drawn into the story and can't wait to see what transpires next. Be forewarned like many of McCarthy's other novels his unique writing style, such as lack of punctuation which makes reading a bit tedious is rampant but worth the read. After pages of reading you fall into his unique writing style.
