East Verses West

First published as "The Water Hole" in Collier's magazine in 1927, this is the love story between a 20 year old spoiled rich girl who was never deprived of anything in her life, and a young archaeologist who is hoping to make the discovery of a "lost" pueblo. The distinct differences of personalities--she free and easy and wild, and he, quiet, reserved, "old fashioned"--is cause for quite interesting circumstances to erupt between them. It makes for a different kind of book, with lots of twists and turns as Janey Endicot and Phillip Randolph struggle with their relationship. At one point Phillip "spanks" Janey; something that could only happen in a Zane Grey story. There are villains and pseudo-villains, a kidnapping, and a near lynching--enough action and pace to go along with all the romantic difficulties. It's a good read.

Clashes: Modern vs Old World Values

This is a well-written story that exemplifies in popular format the ongoing clash between old values and modern thinking. As I read this story, these values seemed more cohesive and less unbreechable... as long as respect and love are part of the picture.

This should be a Movie !

A really great Western Love Story. A real tear jerker with many twists. I only hope that someone will someday make this a movie. It's clever, enticing, and exciting. You won't want to put the book down after half way through.
