3.25 stars.

I absolutely loved All the Pretty Horses. I did not enjoy this book. This story just never grabbed me. I kept thinking, “Oh, now it seems like something is about to happen!” But alas. Things would be interesting for just a moment before they were quickly wrapped up and we’d ride on to the next dismal musing. Not sure if I will finish this trilogy now, even though there is only one book left.
