Product Description:
Available together in one volume for the first time, the three novels of Cormac
McCarthy's award-winning and bestselling Border Trilogy constitute a genuine
American epic.
Beginning with All the Pretty Horses and continuing through The
Crossing and Cities of the Plain, McCarthy chronicles the lives of two
young men coming of age in the Southwest and Mexico, poised on the edge of a
world about to change forever. Hauntingly beautiful, filled with sorrow and
humor, The Border Trilogy is a masterful elegy for the American frontier.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - cormac mccarthy trilogy
very good and sparse storytelling; practical like the life on horseback must have been. two real tragic moments stand out: the she-wolf's death and the misshapen and life-battered dog at the end of the last novella.i agree with a previous reviewer that the wolf's death was an act of love and the only one in this trilogy; the dog's running off into the night is frightening as i believe the dog represented the future end for the solo cowhand. Gripping, thought-provoking,takes a mature and aware reader; ... Read More
Rating: - You will get hooked on this author
Let's start off with an admission. I rarely devote free time to novels - just can't sit still that long. On a lark, I picked up McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men" for a quick read on weekend escape to the beach. Perfect. Four novels later, I am now officially hooked. "The Border Trilogy" is a must read and my latest purchase. As always, the action is continuous, the descriptions unique, the characters interesting and believable. More than occasionally McCarthy taunts you with the unusual phrase ... Read More
Rating: - I am sure it will be great!
His books are always great though horribly depressing. I haven't read yet but will in the fall. I usually have to read 2 or 3 other books with happier endings and surroundings then I pick McCarthy's books back up again. I am sure it will be as thought provoking as all his books are.
Rating: - Cormac Mccarthy
I first was introduced to Cormac Mccarthy by way of "No Country for Old Men ", and loved his writing style, which led me to the border trilogy, which I also like a lot. Next I will read Blood Meridian. His style is unlike any other I have read.
Rating: - the single most influential series i've read in my life
Cormac McCarthy has the amazing abilitly to envoke emotion using description of action and place. One never gets inside of his characters heads directly (at least not in this particular series) and yet it is the most emotionaly powerful series i have ever encountered. McCarthy taps into the very core of the human life force, our relationships with nature and change.
I first read All the Pretty Horses when i was thirteen, having heard my father talk about the effect the book had on him, specifically ... Read More
