If Cormac McCarthy had humor, more words, punctuation, and slightly less graphic depictions of violence and sex.

This book was a slow burn at the beginning. Once the action takes off, it takes off. You get to take your time getting to know the characters and let them win your heart. An epic adventure and emotional journey

Decent book, right up until the end. A little slow and predictable at points, but a decent read. Outside of the ending (which maybe it’s because of this book being part of a series) the MAJOR issue I take with it is that the author seems eager to doll out the use of the N-Word, while simultaneously bashful using the words penis or vagina to actually describe human body parts. Gives me weird vibes.

A true western masterpiece. Love, loss, friendship, and coming of age wrapped up in a grand adventure. While the pace was slow, the characters were so beautifully developed and the plot fell together so perfectly that 850 pages felt like 300.
