Reviewing the Best
Published by Charles , 4 years ago
This critical review of the Westerns of Zane Grey by Mr. Kimball is a pleasurable, enjoyable read. I have had my copy of this book for over four years and I return to it from time to time to check on facts about Zane Grey and his writing. Its contents contain chapters devoted to different aspects of Grey's writing such as: The Formula, or pattern he followed in nearly all of his works; The Critical Setting, or how he used the environment to shape his characters; and so forth. This book also gives a short description of the 56 "westerns" beginning with Heritage of the Desert, 1910 to Boulder Dam, 1963. Overall, this is a great book to own, about the greatest author of the American West.
