Shane

An excellent book.  It is very detailed and keeps you interested.  It's a little graphic at times, but it is very well written and has a good plot.  If you want to read a western, read Shane.

A wonderfully told story of Bobby Starrett, and his first-hand account of Shane, the man who came to live with them.  It is a story of the hardships of life and the mysterious Shane.  Dillon M.

The book started out slow but it really got better at the end.  It's hard to read unless you like western books.  Molly B.

This was the first western book I have ever read.  I was very impressed by it.  It shows a young boy's view of things that happen when an odd visitor shows up in his town.  Candace O.
