All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy - A Short Summary and Review

A short summary of the book All the Pretty Horses:

Forbidden love incarcerates cowboys in Mexico.

My favorite Cormac McCarthy quote from the book:

"Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

Could you survive in a Mexican jail?

Would you have tried again?

My review of All the Pretty Horses:

The punctuation was a little weird.

Completely engrossing.

Not nearly as dark as Blood Meridian or The Road but still.
