"Sea of Grass" has twists and turns that spark interest at the outcome. Conrad Richter's use of language enthralls: at times poetic, at other times convoluted. This story of the ending of the Old West IS upheld by the characters, language and the convolution. Like all good stories, some loose strings are left flapping so that mysteries are left intact. Others are inferred abruptly although feel free to speculate. There remains something for how you like it.
