All The Pretty Horses Response I really enjoyed reading All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. I personally read it as a novel about a young boy’s quest for what life is all about as well as a sense of belonging‚ which is why I was surprised that even though he returns home‚ at the end of the novel‚ he soon leaves to continue West.
