This was my 18th Zane Grey novel. I've loved them all, but not this one. 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. ( )

An enjoyable story for a cold Sunday afternoon by the fire. Not the deepest book you'll read, but the characters have a little more depth than the typical Zane Grey and the descriptions of Colorado wilderness are perfect. ( )

This story is great! It's set in Colorado and tells of a love story and cowboy life. It's awesom!
This book is valued at $6.00 according to www.ABEBOOKS.com ( )
