The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy
3.0

McCarthy is a beautiful writer. I did not enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed All the Pretty Horses. Although the story was deep, heartfelt and intriguing it, for all its pages, lacked the action to complement the plot twists. By the end I was too distracted by each of the side "understand thyself" stories, that I found myself getting anxious and wanting to get on with the adventure. But all in all, I did enjoy where the characters took themselves.
