What a boring, boring book. I love a book with lots of description, but good grief, this book was pages and pages of wash, rinse and repeat. Wake up, ride, break for lunch, ride more, break for dinner, sleep, wake up, ride...etc....pages of this. Once this stopped it was a ton of incomplete relationships, vague conversations, and lots and lots of horse.

This book was a pain to read. It got decent in the 3rd chapter (and mind you, there are only 4 chapters in this book). The releationships were still incomplete, the conversations were still vague but at least around this time there was some action going on. But still, boring.

And seriously, I think Carmac McCarthy owns stock in the word "and". There are some sentences that run 10 and 11 lines long and contain an equal amount of "and's". Most of these run-on sentences add nothing to the story which makes them even harder to stomach.

Honestly if you don't read this book you won't be missing anything. I felt like I wasted a ton of my time reading a bad book when I could have been enjoying a better read.

I would recommend this book for only two reasons. One, some people love this book. They think it’s beautiful and touching. Second, even though it’s tough to read, it’s interesting enough to discuss and "rewrite" in your bookclub discussion.

Well written, great story line, and a total page turner. What more could you ask for! Don't watch the movie though...its so bad and incomplete.
