Book Excerpt: 
. . .Lane's sight. At fifteen, like his sister Lorna, this girl had the development of a young woman. She breathed health, and something elusive that Lane could not catch. If it had not been for her apparent lack of shame, and her rouged lips and cheeks, and her plucked eyebrows, she would have been exceedingly alluring. But no beauty, however striking, could under these circumstances, stir Lane's heart. He was fascinated, puzzled, intensely curious.

"Why wouldn't you dance jazz in front of me?" he inquired, with a smile.

"Well, for one thing I'm not stuck on it, and for another I'll say you said a mouthful."

"Is that all?" he asked, as if disappointed.

"No. I'd respect what you said—because of where you've been and what you've done."

An attempt at a “serious novel” by the famed novelist of the west, this turns out to be quite the hot mess. Hero has returned from WWI and is not expected to live very long. (Neither are his two friends.) Maybe it is just as well — the women (very young women like 15-16 or so) have all bobbed their

No one comes home from war unchanged. Classic story of “Times change, people don’t”. Enjoyed the read but definitely not typical Zane Grey.

This was quite different from most of the other stories by Zane Grey. It tells the story of a soldier who returns home from WW I to find that everything has changed.

Zane Grey's Best

I have been a long time reader of Zane Grey. How I missed this book I don't know. This is not a western which is why I overlook it. Strong characters, great storyline. A great perspective of American after WWI.

First, I didn't know before this book that it's not a western so if that's what you want steer clear. Second, it is an interesting look at how things changed culturally/morally between WWI and when soldiers came home after the war which is an aspect I never thought of before. Third, it SO DEPRESSING

I found it very interesting all though a little disjointed.

It was a good adventure book to read on rainy day

I would recommend this book to anyone man or woman who enjoys a good western adventure once in a while.

Depression on paper

The worst story of Grey's that I have ever read. If he was alive I would prescribe him prozac. I cannot fathom how bleak his view of society was He had an unrealistic view of women and human nature with a very prudish comprehension of love and relationships do yourself a favor and

I had never read a novel by Zane Grey, whom I thought wrote nothing but westerns. After reading a review of a biography of Grey and finding out that he also wrote this one about WWI, I thought I'd give it a try. It was fascinating in the sense that it was from the perspective of a young man who had
