tfitz_ 's review for:

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy
4.25
adventurous challenging dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Almost gave it a 4 or less because I found the monologues very tiring and arduous, but the scope of the story, the significance of each of the 3 crossings, and the final scene of the novel were enough to drag it above the 4.0 or 3.75 mark for me
