fraser_whyte 's review for:
The Crossing
by Cormac McCarthy
4? 5? I'm right on the cusp of a 4.5 on this one. Enjoyed it a lot more than Child of God but not as much as either All the Pretty Horses or The Road.
Of the three journeys taken by Billy Parham in the book, I found the first a bit of a struggle but it really improved for me with the fraternal relationship. I really enjoy McCarthy's writing style but this is the first one where I've found the need to stop and translate the Spanish dialogue an imposition.
Minor things perhaps but that's pushes me to err on the side of 4, rather than 5 stars.
