Customer Reviews

Overly descriptive.

I grew up with Zane Grey movies and books all around. As a kid, the home library included a complete set of Zane Grey. So, I decided to finally read “Riders of the Purple Sage.” The story runs quite slowly, especially in the beginning. The pace picks up towards the end with horse chases and misplaced rocks in the canyon country of southern Utah, 1871. Nothing is hidden from the reader, so a good guesser knows all the secrets before they are explicitly revealed and exhaustively explained. Every rock and bush is described and described again every time it is passed. I am not sure if it is positive or negative. I guess it is up to the individual reader. I will say this: Zane Grey (1872-1939) can weave several plots together seamlessly and not leave any frayed ends.
