Book Review Friday: All The Pretty Horses (1994)

Book Review for All the Pretty Horses (2015)
Written by: Cormac McCarthy
Alfred A. Knopf,  pp. 302

Review

Cormac McCarthy is one of the greatest American Authors of the last half century. I say this and I've read all of four books of his eleven. His modal nihilism set against the back drop of the most existential strips of land around Texas and Mexico combined with the brutal violent realism in his stories creates tones that elevate the mostly godless written words into something resembling religious ritual.

But enough generalization.
