Story
Sixteen-year-old John Grady Cole's grandfather has just died, his parents have permanently separated, and the family ranch, upon which he had placed so many boyish hopes, has been sold. Rootless and increasingly restive, Cole leaves Texas, accompanied by his friend Lacey Rawlins, and begins a journey across the vaquero frontier into the badlands of northern Mexico.

Story
America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

Story
It is three in the morning when Bobby Western plunges from the Coast Guard tender into darkness. His dive light illuminates the sunken jet, nine bodies still buckled in their seats, hair floating, eyes devoid of speculation. Missing from the site are the pilot’s bag, the plane’s black box, and the tenth passenger. A collateral witness to machinations that can only bring him harm, Western is shadowed in body and spirit—by men with badges; by the ghost of his father, inventor of the bomb that melted glass and flesh in Hiroshima; and by his sister, the love and ruin of his soul.

Story
No discussion of great modern authors is complete without mention of Cormac McCarthy, whose rare and blazing talent makes his every work a true literary event. A grand addition to the American literary canon, Suttree introduces readers to Cornelius Suttree, a man who abandons his affluent family to live among a dissolute array of vagabonds along the Tennessee river.

Story
Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl from Dardanelle, Arkansas, sets out to avenge her Daddy who was shot to death by a no-good outlaw. Mattie convinces one-eyed "Rooster" Cogburn, the meanest U.S. marshal in the land, to ride along with her. In True Grit, we have a true American classic, as young Mattie, as vital as she is innocent, outdickers and outmaneuvers the hard-bitten men of the trail in a legend that will last through the ages.

This is hard to listen to (McCarthy's style) but utterly gut-wrenching and stays with you.

Seriously flawed
Wow what a in depth look at American history. Not a nice look I assure you. But informative especially if near true.
But in the end the pursuit of a boy by a seriously flawed man.
Not pretty but very good in my opinion.

Spectacularly Vivid Tale
A spare but spectacularly vivid novel- most discuss the brutal violence, but the landscape descriptions are amazing and what I find most compelling about the work. #Audible1

the ride never ends
I've listened to this book three times. I'm still not entirely sure what it all means, but it's a goddamn ride from start to finish.

A western like no other
Awesome book you should definitely pick up if you like anything western or bloody.
But don’t worry if you’re the squeamish type, MacCarthy elects to be more poetic than descriptive in his writing.

Narrated Wonderfully
A much easier listen than read. The narrator's fluency of foreign language, characterization of dialogue, deliberate cadence, and expressive tone made it easier to follow a difficult text. I can never say I fully grasp what Cormac is at, but this time through I caught much more.

never read something like this
a deep, intense and graphic novel isn't something easy to come by nor enjoy no wonder this novel is "unfilmable" so far.
