patvulaj 's review for:

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy

3.5

---

While I found “All The Pretty Horses” hard to put down, I found “The Crossing” hard to get through. It started bland, got good in the 2nd quarter and then gets bogged down a couple times by monologues that just go on for way too long and seem pointless by the end, as well as long conversations in Spanish that I get lost in. This wasn’t as much an issue in ATPH as it felt in this book. It’s a disappointing second act in this trilogy.
