John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets out for Mexico with his friend Lacey Rawlins. Befriending a third boy on the way, they find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged yet cruelly civilized… A place where dreams are paid for in blood.©1992 Cormac McCarthy (P)1992 Recorded Books Inc Coming of Age Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Small Town & Rural Heartfelt Latin American Mexico

One minute it is lyricism, the beauty of the plains, Shakespearean star-crossed lovers, and before you know it people are crapping in buckets and getting their teeth smashed out. Pure Cormac McCarthy, all relayed in soaring poetic cadences and the register of the King James Bible. Genius.

I am so happy I chose to listen to this, I often find it hard to decide if I should read a book or listen. The narration was perfect and added greatly to the experience.

A lovely, gentle, slow story. Although not all gentle content.

I was frustrated at the amount of Spanish dialogue as I do not speak Spanish. So lost some of the content and meaning and flow.

Wonderful prose. Paints the landscapes with insight and beautiful language. The characters become important and lovable despite the sometimes gruesome scenes. It makes you want to go there and see it all for real. Moving and memorable.
