"Zane Grey really has a way with westerns. I was a little disappointed with this one and it took a long time to finish the book. It was exciting but too mushy with the Rangers falling for the ladies. "

    " Every once in a while it is fun to completely deviate from my normal reading fare and try something different. This was an entertaining enough read, although I enjoyed the first half more than the second (the first half seemed a little truer to human nature, less predictable, and less contrived). "
