America’s finest living writer

Just a wonderful trilogy. At times dense and difficult to read which makes the audio book a fine form to imbibe the narrative. Can’t recommend this enough to new readers of Cormac McCarthy

Third and final slice of wonderment

I’ve clip-clopped my meandering way through this entire trilogy. Now my eyes are full of wonder, my head is as soar as a caballero’s bum, but my soul is still, somehow, still restless. I think this is because the 2nd book in the series had two complete, successive plots; but this one, disappointingly, had only one. If, like me, you speak no Spanish, you’ll find the frequent & lengthy lapses into that language tiresome. Keep going though. Like the hardships of an empty belly & a week in the saddle, they will lead you through to some other mystery. For example, every man in Mexico is a kind of met-physical philosopher poet - how come? Every woman is silent, though I’d like to hear what she has to say. And any American man is easy to spot - he would think himself talked out if he uttered three syllables in a day. The trilogy, I think, is about the proximity of Mexico, a kind of irresistible Hades

good story.

Good story tying up the trilogy nicely. Long winded philosophies were a bit tiring though

Saddle up and finish the trilogy

I had such high hopes for this book with John Grady Cole teaming up with Billy Parham. I wanted epic adventures of two young cowboys in big country and it didn't really happen. Did modern life encroach too much? Or had they done all their adventuring in the other books? This book is good and definitely worth a read but not as good as the first two books. Not sure I was satisfied with the John Grady story. But, I must say I was pleased with warmth the ending provided.

Brilliant writing awful narration

Wonderful prose ruined by a terrible affected whispering voice. He seems to think it’s atmospheric bur it’s very distracting.

Corman's Epistemology Laid Bare

A great treat to listen but I wonder if this material isn't better read on the cold page. The book itself isn't his best. Yet, in the context of the others, I think it gives the clearest view into how his worlds work.
