Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Horrible and pointless
Review: I had to read this book for school and I hate it. It's too detailed and far too complex for my taste. About 2 chapters of the book talks about a man and Shane chopping at some big old stump, and the characters are all astonished and proud of them. It really makes no sense to me. I do not recommend this book to ANY high-school student if you need to read a book for school.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting but confusing
Review: I'm reading this book right now, and I find it confusing. Maybe it's because it's not the type of book that I would like to read normally. I'm sure if I were into these kinds of novels, then I would enjoy it more than I am.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Details, Details, Details!!
Review: I did not care for this book at all. It was all detail and description. The excitement of the book isn't until the very end and even that wasn't so great. The only part of the book I enjoyed was the subtle way that Marian had feelings for Shane because she was so fascinated by him. Otherwise I couldn't wait until it was over so I could write my paper and get it over with.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Gun Man changes thelives of the Family
Review: The book is manly about this person who is trying to hide his past and keeps on traveling until he meets this family then he stays for awhile and he decides to stay but the Joe askes Shane to be a framer and he says yes and thenn he stays after awhile he leaves and then every one in the family realized what what Shane had done for them was lots.

I hated this Book this book was Very not good I hated this book the only reason I read this book was because I ahd to read it for my book report or other wise I would not have read thi book I rather read any other book than this book this book had no main plot to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mysterious, haunting, superb...
Review: I first read this book as a 6th grade reading assignment and found it spellbinding from start to finish. From the dynamic that first develops between Shane and the younger Starret to the final showdown, the insightful reader experiences an emotional euphoria that boxes the compass from joy to sadness. Unlike others that have read the book and seen the movie, however, I must admit that the movie, for me, captures the essence of the eternal struggle between good and evil as well, if not better, than the book. The majestic cinematography and musical score, combined with George Stevens skill at directing the film's superb cast make Shane the standard by which all westerns, past and present, should be measured.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MUST READ FOR ANYONE
Review: This is a great book I would recomend this to anybody who likes adventure and suspens or the old west. It keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Worst
Review: This is the worst and most pointless book ever written I had to read it for school and I did not understand one bit of it. It should not be sold it is the worst book ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fantastic book
Review: This is my all-time favorite western, as there is so much in this book if you just look deeper. Shane is not only a tough guy, but he is able to discuss fashions with the wife, and so he shows that being tough doesn't mean you can't be sensitive and observant. He wasn't afraid to show what being a man is all about.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Book Was boring
Review: The book was really boring. It made no sense and it had no plot. I would recommend everyone even the author to avoid this book at all cost. If you want to read a book, don't read this one. Read anything else and it will be better than this book. The author made the old west the most boring place on earth.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting
Review: I thought it was an interesting book. It was certainly better than some of the other books I had to read in junior high. It would be a good book for people who want a short, western novel and for those who want to know what troubles pioneers had out west.
