I stopped reading this. I understand that Cormac has strong beliefs about punctuation (for example, refusing to use quotation marks among other things), but it makes it difficult to get into the book. The first 30 to 50 pages feels like you are fighting to understand what is going on.

Make my life, as the reader, easy. If you can't respect that, I can't offer you the honest time to read your work.

That said, the story was moving fairly slowly by the point I stopped. I didn't really care what happened to the two main characters (I was more interested in what happened to a third that bothered them while on their trip, that I assume makes an appearance later, but I will never know).

In short, this book isn't for me. It might be for you, if you like westerns or at least like stories that take place in western US, and horses. But this just doesn't do it for me.
