Top notch tale

Confession I live just outside of Zanesville, but I’ve never visited the Zane Grey Museum.

Grey is one of those people who just has a natural way of writing that makes you feel like he was there when the story happened even though it’s completely fictional.

This is a captivating story, that anybody who has ever watched a western or wanted to be a cowboy or a Native American will love. Narration is spot on and perfect.

My favorite part of the whole book was actually the biography of Zane gray himself. For some reason it made me like him and his story all the more even though it wasn’t really necessary.

I wouldn’t say this is a classic, but it’s definitely a must read.
