A solid romantic start, a brilliant middle serving as the high point, and a feels ending which will leave you sad.

This. The Crossing almost feels out of place in the trilogy in terms of tone. It feels much more desolate and raw
Lots of plant and corn and field descriptions you may not have the knowledge to visualise. Crushing dullness in the middle section "Stuff ain't what it used to be" . Characters with impenetrable motivations
All the Pretty Horses is terrific. Highly recommended.
Planning to read the rest of it later this summer.
The Crossing is absolutely flawless
All three are great for their own reasons. Solid as stand alone novels and a solid trilogy. Not life changing stuff but very good summer reading at the least.
I've only read the first. I didn't enjoy it very much.
>what do I expect?
it's cormac mccarthy
you'll likely end the books feeling empty and wishing you'd been a better son to your dead father

I didn't meet my dad till I was 15, and we haven't spoken since. What about me?
