Review: "Riders of the Purple Sage" by Zane Grey -

Grey's classic Western lives up to its reputation of trope-filled storytelling while also surprising in lush scenery, realistic and tense action, and unexpected resolutions.

It's been years since I've read a Western (presuming King's 'Gunslinger' doesn't count!). Why not settle into a classic of the genre? And, believe it or not, my first Grey!
