All the Pretty Little Horses 1-30

     After reading the first thrity pages of All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, my first impression of the novel was suprised.  It was very interesting to me to read the diferences and clashes between the old western world and the post.  I found the comparisons to feel more forced than blended and that sort of bothered me; however, descriptive language of certain images such as the train rolling into town made the language sound very pretty.  I found the blended dialogue to be a bit confusing at times, but later on through the novel I began to pick up on it and understood its meaning and correlation to the novel.  It started to make sense to me once I got a feel for the characters and their personalities and the flat style that they sometimes spoke in that matched the flatness of the formation of the dialogue.  Overall, I really enjoyed the first bit of the novel and find it sort of refreshing as well as informative.  I can not wait to continue reading this novel!
