Actually, my middle school english class read that book. Maybe it was elementary school, I forget. I liked the book. I realize the Alan Ladd movie is well regarded in the western genre, but I have never seen it.

I lived the movie Shane but it didn't hold a candle to the book. Alan Ladd did a great acting job but he was still miscast as Shane. Oddly enough, that movie did have the PERFECT actor to portray Shane. It was Ben Johnson who played Chris. In the book Chris was a young punk so Johnson was miscast as Chris but he would have been great as Shane.
