Editorial Review: 3 Hours - 2 Cassettes. Abridged version of All the Pretty Horses.
All the Pretty Horses - the first volume of the Borders Trilogy - tells of young John Grady Cole, the last of a long line of Texas ranchers. Across the border Mexico beckons - beautiful and desolate, rugged and cruelly civilized. With two companions, he sets off on an idyllic, sometimes comic adventure, to a place where dreams are paid for in blood.
Review:
"[All the Pretty Horses's} elegiac rhythm captures the badlands of Texas and northern Mexico with a passion most writers either couldn't muster or wouldn't dare." (--Boston Globe)
Review:
"McCarthy puts most other American writers to shame.[His] work itself repays the tight focus of his attention with its finely wrought craftsmanship and its ferocious energy." (--The New York Times Book Review)
Review:
"Here is a more subtle reading, befitting a literary novel that is powerful with description while being probative of human nature."(-Land Line Magazine)
Synopsis:
This beautifully crafted, bestselling, National Book Award-winning tale of three young men who set off on an idyllic, sometimes comic adventure is the basis for a major motion picture from Miramax, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Billy Bob Thornton. |
