I'm not sure exactly what it was, but it just didn't do much for me. ( ) Well, I have always heard about Zane Grey, but this is my first western read. I expected it to be rather like The Lone Ranger or Maverick --the television westerns I grew up with. Instead, it was a romance, pure and simple. Set in an age where men were men and women strong. Sure could have surprised me! But it was also a book written by a nature-lover. No one could wax so lyrical over a geography without love. I doubt I will ever be tempted to pick up another Grey, but I am glad I read this. no reviews | add a review
