Description
Cormac McCarthy is a quiet, unassuming presence in American fiction today, but like the slow, measured voices of many of his characters, he speaks with an authority and conviction that demands an audience. All the Pretty Horses, McCarthy's sixth novel, is a cowboy odyssey for modern times. Set in the late 1940s, it features the travels and toils of a 16-year-old East Texan named John Grady Cole, caught in the agonizing purgatory between adolescence and adulthood.
At the start of the novel, Cole's grandfather has just died, his parents have permanently separated, and the family ranch, upon which he had placed so many boyish hopes, has been sold. Rootless and increasingly restive, Cole leaves Texas, accompanied by his friend Lacey Rawlins, and begins a journey across the vaquero frontier into the badlands of northern Mexico. In spite of its hard realities and spare telling, All the Pretty Horses is a lyrical and richly romantic story, chronicling - along with the erosion of the frontier - the loss of an era.

It is three in the morning when Bobby Western plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the site are the pilot’s bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"This is a novel so exuberant in its prose, so offbeat in its setting and so mordant and profound in its deliberations that one searches in vain for comparisons in American literature." (Publishers Weekly)

Fantastic
As usual Cormac McCarthy has done a great job creating an image of the scenes in the book with written words. Furthermore, Frank Muller’s narration what spot on, can’t think of a better narrator.

Deeply moving unadorned storytelling
I've not read or listened to other Cormac McCarthy books before, but I've already contacted my local bookstore and downloaded the other 2 stories of this trilogy, because the experience is more being in, than listening to, the story. Listening to this story - tears, laughter, horror, hope - is a journey in itself.
A better suited narrator could not be found. He read the story with the pace and plain straight shooting voice making me want to give my full attention so as to not miss anything, letting images arise in my mind's eye like I was there.
He has given a deeply thoughtful, beautiful story of a boy coming to terms with "growing up", with endings life puts in our paths, societally and individually, and undeterred, dusting himself off, to make his way into a future of endings and beginnings.
At the ending of the story, I sat quietly, grateful to Cormac McCarthy. I recommend you experience your own reading.

Life laid bare
The starkness of our journey through life, in the end alone, is set in a land that is not yet in the past or in the future.

Absolutely beautiful
My challenges with this book were the Spanish dialog and the varying volume of the narrator. I think I would have gotten more out of the story had I known what the translation of the Spanish was. The narrator had a very soothing voice, but it was difficult to hear it clearly on speaker or in the car because the tone is very low and soft. Otherwise, the story itself and the metaphors were deeply moving.

I enjoyed this book very much. The writing was true to the characters and the narration was very good. my only wish was that the excerpts in Spanish had been explained, but overall it was excellent.
