    If the story works for you, it’s well crafted. I couldn’t put it down. I’m a heavy reader for the past 50 years, and this surprisingly blew me away. How have I missed this? Bought it used as I do a couple of times a month when I can’t source at my local library. They had 120 copies and I got tired of waiting! I hear Blood Meridian is the best. Again, long waiting list locally. With the exception of a “John Gault” speech, pretty horses was near perfect. I grew up with a lot of horses and later lived in West Texas near San Angelo. We traveled Mexico by VW and bus 40 years ago. The land descriptions, people and horse knowledge is moving. A must read.

  • Gripping plot, beautiful language and a bit less morbid than other McCarthy books. Great read.

    As offered, I received a former library book, which has a stamp and a library card in the front. Otherwise the condition is very good. I actually like that the book has a history to it and its not fresh from the press.

  • Great novel, in pretty good shape too.

    I'm only 100 pages in, but so far it is one the best things I have ever read. Ever. Incredible, beautiful prose and compelling characters. Since it is C.McC, you know something bad is going to happen, probably something dreadful.
