Cormac McCarthy writes likes he doesn't care if you ever read one of his books. Many authors, even the good ones at times, are guilty of pandering to an audience or trying a bit too hard to please others outside of themselves. From the very...

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: Excellent and terrible

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kellie_S-S - I finished reading All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy a couple of

days ago. I've got good news, and I've got bad news. But maybe the

bad news is merely irritating.

All The Pretty Horses is as magnificent as Lonesome Dove,...

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: A profound lesson on self-discovery and loyalty

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author barrys1 - I love stories of the American West, particularly those with stoic, rugged characters such as in Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove. John Grady Cole, protagonist in All the Pretty Horses, is pretty much a descendant of such characters. A 16-year-old Texan,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fuggly_boy - Here's another of my genre book reviews! I must note that I loved this book. If my analysis of ALL THE PRETTY HORSES suggests to you that I think the book failed, then I'm sorry. All I'm saying is that the book failed as a western; it succeeds most...

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: You gotta set a fine story somewhere

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author whita - To say a book transcends a genre is to belittle it, as though to say that a book that does not transcend that genre is a poor effort. Mysteries and science fiction "yarns" are sometimes said to transcend their genres. Westerns that do so are...

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: All the long sentences that have no commas!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author schroeder360 - I liked this story very much. I felt a great deal of sympathy for the main character, John Grady Cole, and his companion, Lacey Rawlins. I thought the plot was well done and not unbelievable, and its epic-like structure adds a lot to John Grady's...

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: Huck Finn meets Romeo and Julliet in Ol' Mexico

Thu, 2 Mar 2000 19:48:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Mattog - All The Pretty Horses is not so much a western novel as a coming of age novel. It is a road story a love story and a tale of friendship and McCarthy has in one book combined Huckleberry Finn, Romeo and Julliet, and the best of Jack London.

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: Not your Louis L'amour western

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 18:12:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author that-guy - All the Pretty Horses, the first book in Cormac McCarthy's The Border Trilogy, is the kind of book that pushes beyond the boundary of genre. Here, McCarthy sets up a typical western plot. John Grady, a youth, and his friend Blevins ride into Mexico to...

Cormac McCarthy - All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In Edition: A must-read classic Western

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 19:15:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mgreber - When I think of Westerns, I think of John Wayne and maybe Clint Eastwood. I think of hokey films where the only women are prostitutes and the only men who do good are big white guys with strong jaws. It might be a generational thing, but I've never much...
