5.0 out of 5 stars all time favorite, June 23, 2003

CODE OF THE WEST is my all time favorite. I reread it two or more times a year. RAINBOW TRAIL and RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE are two of my other favorites.

A man might break every law of the territory, state and federal government, but he took pride in upholding his own unwritten code. All of Zane's character up held code of the west or they were social outcasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sincere reminder of life in a simpler time., May 27, 1998

Zane Grey writes of a time when everyone lived simply and men were known by their integrity and honesty. A man's word was his bond, and a real man respected and honored women. He tells of a time when one's character was more important than how much money he had or how privileged he lived. He believed in God and was genuinely thankful for every good thing that came his way.

Zane Grey is often overlooked but he is truly a great western writer. Grey speaks in a voice that is down to earth, honest and simplistic. He gives us true insight into the mind of country people from long ago. People were good and love was pure. This is a fish-out-of water story about a wild city slicker girl that is forced to come to the country to stay with her sister. A country boy falls in love with her and tries to win her over. A great old fashioned story.
