Weigh Up Regarding Books Shane

Fantastic storytelling. A great classic Western. All the elements needed:- A dark and mysterious stranger- A passionate narrator- The oppression of the little people- The evil cattle Baron - Gunslingers- Clever one liners- Riding off into the sunset Even if you don't like westerns, if you enjoy a good, well-written story I think you will enjoy this one. (also, it isn't very long so it is a nice quick read)

A recent discussion with friends about the classic movie version of Shane made me decide it was time to read the book. I'm glad I did. The writing and the story is strong. Next time I watch the movie, I'm going to see it through fresh eyes.

A simple story of good and evil in a Wild West setting. I first read *Shane* 20 years ago while doing a week-long substitute teaching assignment in a junior high school English class, and expected to hate it. I ended up loving it and have reread it twice since then. It's one of those small books that has pretty much everything: An unforgettable title character, a thought-provoking plot, several exciting action scenes, and an ending that will break your heart. Put down that bloated yet hollow

A dark stranger rides in to town and captures the heart and soul of a family and they will forever be changed. A quick(100 pg) YA read with good vs evil theme and a real cowboy feel.

Good book. This is another where the movie will probably forever more be better known than the novel itself. In this case it's also a good movie..it happens now and then you know. As they say even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally.Anyway...Shane. The book opens with the (almost stereotypical) dark rider riding through and meeting a family whom he befriends. But if you think about it...this is one or the characters that established the stereotype. So he (Shane) becomes almost a part of said

I unashamedly loved this. To my mind the quintessential western. Wouldn't be too many readers I suspect who haven't heard of Shane. The story of a lone gunman who comes to the rescue of the Sharratt family and against unbeatable odds takes on the "bad guys" and triumphs.A simple style of writing that suited the story. Found this one to be a bit of a "tear jerker" actually. Not a lengthy read by any means. The author managed to convey much with a minimum of fuss. Loved it to bits. Time and money

A classic that is more than a western. It's also a story about one of the myths of the United States - the heroic Lone Hero on the Frontier. Shane is the embodiment of the Lone Hero; the man who shares the values of civilized society, but has the destructive skills of the outlaw.He rides out of the wilderness to aid the band of pioneers and take on the land-grabbing cattle barons in a violent but satisfying bloodletting. In 2012 this is a cliche, but ,as I have pointed out in the past when
