All the Pretty Horses: Movie Tie-In

The first volume in McCarthy's Border Trilogy, ALL THE PRETTY HORSES begins with the death of John Grady Cole's grandfather. John Grady, age 16, has lived with his grandfather for much of his life, and when the old man dies and the family home--a ranch in Texas--is sold, John Grady and his old friend Lacey Rawlins take off for Mexico, looking for a place in a world that seems increasingly hostile. Almost immediately, they encounter trouble, and the trip is studded with death, loss, violence, stolen horses, and thwarted love. By the time John Grady returns home--alone--he is irrevocably changed.

Perfect for Audio Book, October 13, 2008

By skyprincess, California

"I purchased this audio book because Brad Pitt was the reader. I was not disappointed. I think his voice lended itself well as the story-teller of a western theme novel. While not all Cormac McCarthy books are to my liking, this one was beautiully written and suited to both men and women readers. I think my enjoyment of this particular novel went up because it was read to me. Images of the territory and scenery there were especially well described by McCarthy."
