About this listen

Zane Grey is considered the creator of the Western and remains the most popular author of that genre.

His best-known book, Riders of the Purple Sage, remains an all-time best-seller, and one of the most successful Western novels in history.

The famous critic T. K. Whipple praised a typical Grey novel as a modern version of the ancient Beowulf saga, "a battle of passions with one another and with the will, a struggle of love and hate, or remorse and revenge, of blood, lust, honor, friendship, anger, grief—all of a grand scale and all incalculable and mysterious."

This first Volume contains four of his best novels, including Riders of the Purple Sage, and its sequel The Rainbow Trail. Two more popular novels are are included in this collection.

I stopped after I got through the first book because I heard it was the same reader on the 2nd book as the first. There are 3 listed, but it seems they have their books to read.

The story in the first book is good, the vocabulary sounds a bit dated at this point, but that's to be expected. I've previously read it in Norwegian, and hearing the author's own words was nice.

What wasn't as nice was the reader's enthusiasm, or rather lack there of... He had 1 speed, disregarding punctuation and gaps between paragraphs and chapters AND EVEN THE BOOKS. They're was maybe half a second delay between the last word in book one and the title of book 2. This was also probably partly on the editor, but it matches the tempo of the reader throughout the book.
He had only slight tone variations for the characters, mostly one for men and one for women, and the no change in pitch no matter the circumstances. A woman expressing her deepest love, a man swearing death to his foes, the rendition of the wild canyons and flowinf fields, it's all the same monotone drawl. If you were uncertain about Zane's books before jumping into this, his reading would send you running faster than a rockslide.

TL;DR: Add all the words in order and feed it to a reading machine, and you get the same enthusiasm the first reader manages...
