Story of a boy's journey from Texas to Mexico. Involves love, laughter, knife fights, horse thievery. Well written Western novel. I enjoyed this a lot - the main character's development and style of prose are both very well done. Contains some Spanish, without translation.

Excellent, descriptive, haunting, evocative of a period between times in our country.

I tried to like this book, but finally gave up on it. I rarely do not finish something I begin reading. I think one either enjoys MxcCarthy's style or doesn't.
