A Classic.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mysterious Rider (Mass Market Paperback)
Rancher Bill Belllounds had brought up Columbine as though she were his daughter. Out of affection for her foster father, Columbine had agreed to marry Bill's son., Jack-a drunkard, gambler, coward, and thief. But the man she really loved was cowboy Wilson Moore, and he was everything Belllound's son should have been. Then the strange, clairvoyant little man they called Hell-Bent Wade came to work at the ranch. "You can believe me when I say somethin' will happen," he declared prophetically. "Columbine isn't goin' to marry Jack Belllound's." I loved to read the dialogue, Zane Grey's books may be a little dated to the time period when he wrote them, but it's still a good book.

Classic American writing,
By Pinto (Sault Ste. Marie, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mysterious Rider (Mass Market Paperback)
On the surface, this book could be considered dull. But what one must realize, is the era in which this book was written, in the 1920's. For lack of a better way to say it, people, especially children, did not get out much back then. They needed to escape, and thinking of the wild west, was a good a way as any.I found the book very enjoyable. The book is not for children, if for no other reason, it it is not written for them, more for young adults. If you want to read a western about shootouts, and that sort of thing, then this is not your book. But for a good, descriptive drama, that grabs you and makes the pages turn, then this is the book for you.

Well-written, but the plot is exceedingly dull,

This review is from: The Mysterious Rider (Mass Market Paperback)
The name of this book, while intriguing, is somehwat misleading. I expected to read a tale about an enigmatic gunfighter, but instead, was subjected to nothing more than a romance set on a ranch in the old west. The protagonist is not a particularly compelling character, and although the prose itself is well-written, the plot simply trudges along. I had to force myself to complete the book.
