Summary
John Grady Cole is the last bewildered survivor of long generations of Texas ranchers. Finding himself cut off from the only life he has ever wanted, he sets out for Mexico with his friend, Lacey Rawlins.
Befriending a third boy on the way, they find a country beyond their imagining: barren and beautiful, rugged yet cruelly civilised.... A place where dreams are paid for in blood.

A very good story with great content.<br />
I'll remember this one for a long time for the story and how it's told.

This ain't my Country...
That is a phrase that kept me thinking from start to finish. And I'm still thinking about now.

Wonderful
Wasn’t sure it was going to be for me in the opening minutes but it soon becomes a truly absorbing story brilliantly narrated.

Oustanding
An under-rated classic, something like Hemingway - possibly more haunting and poetic. A book to come back to again.

Exactly what a book should be!
I’ve tried hard to think of anything about this that I didn’t like… it’s honestly the best Audible experience I’ve had. Excellent story, excellent narration. Going to be hard to find anything to top this.

The astonishing simplicity and humanness of the story and storytelling.
Raw and uncomplicated but gentle observation and wisdom, simply related with great skill. And the whole story—no edits makes all the difference (and incredible value for money).

Wonderfully evocative and lyrical book and reading
Absolutely adored it. Timeless and beautifully written. Took me back to the 19th century in Texas and Mexico was really sorry when it ended.

Captivating
One minute it is lyricism, the beauty of the plains, Shakespearean star-crossed lovers, and before you know it people are crapping in buckets and getting their teeth smashed out. Pure Cormac McCarthy, all relayed in soaring poetic cadences and the register of the King James Bible. Genius.

Wonderful Narration
An elegiac depiction of an old world of cowboys and their horses. With senioritas, bandits and all the pretty horses. Beautifully narrated by Frank Muller.

Beautifully written, and wonderfully narrated.
My only minor gripe is the questionable Mexican Spanish accent of the narrator. Otherwise five stars.
