Read the Paperback,
By djbrkns "djbrkns" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desert Gold (Audio CD)
Great story. I found myself hesitant to pick this book up and reluctant to put it down. I haven't been a big reader of westerns, but I have been wanting to do some historical reading. 'Desert Gold' interested me because it was a western that covered the times that it was published in: 1913. The characters are just good people surviving a harsh environment, protecting whatever and whoever they can. It took me a while to get my mind adjusted to Zane Grey's style of writing, but I really enjoyed everything about it. This is a unpretentious story of finding root, pursuit, escape and survival and it provides a medium for Zane Grey to get philosophical on us during long dusty nights in the desert. Although it may have bogged down a little, I liked the philosophical. Always have. The book has a satisfying ending even if it did finish a little cleaner than it was set up to do. I read this in the 1964 paperback edition, but it would be great in audio!

Great Read,
By W. Shimet - Published on Amazon.com
Desert Gold is a great read and quickly gets you involved with the story. Zane Grey is simply a treasure and prolific author. This book contains a little big of romance, adventure and takes us back to a time before television and telephones.
