Reviews
On Feb 1 2021, a reader said:
I'm sorry, but this is one Zane Grey book I do not like. I have only managed to read the entire thing just one time. It's boring; it's flat; it's unbelievable. Stephen Latch, the main character, is not some one you can have any sympathy for, or at least be able to think, well, maybe, perhaps; or even have any mercy for. I'm not some one to criticize an author for what he writes because I know he has something he wants to say, or an opinion; but I just don't understand what Zane Grey was doing with this book. My advice is skip it, and pick a better one and then come back to this one. I know not every book an author creates is perfect, or great; Zane Grey just missed this time out.
