A review by anna1isa
All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

4.75

I was originally recommended this book because I had expressed a fondness for the archetypal "male brooding protagonist " and John Grady Cole delivers. He lives by his own code of ethics and is anti-establishment, extremely resilient, a natural leader, and entirely built-different. Beautiful, poetic descriptions of the landscape combined with cowboy shenanigans and some real heart-wrenching scenes. Every Cormac McCarthy book feels like a knife to the heart and this is no exception.
