 Natt90 | Mar 24, 2023 |  This is the second western I have ever read. Sometimes I found it a bit slow and other times action came out of nowhere and shocked me. Had a couple of laughs. Cringed a few times. Pretty violent at the end (I think that's typical for westerns?). (  ) Jenn4567 | Mar 3, 2023 | The novel is told from the perspective of a woman named Mattie Ross, who recounts the time when she was 14 and sought retribution for the murder of her father by a scoundrel, Tom Chaney. It is considered by some critics to be "one of the great American novels. CalleFriden | Feb 18, 2023 | What a wonderful book! I had never seen the John Wayne movie (or the more recent version) but I guess I had an bad image in my mind from movie publicity. Anyway the hero, Mattie, turns out to be a charmingly insufferable 14 year old who is opinionated, deadly serious, clever, tough, and also a little bit of a kid. I’m sure I would have loved reading the story anyway, but I listened to the audiobook narrated by famous writer Donna Tartt (who knew the author) and she gives Mattie and the others superb southern accents. I read another book years ago by Portis and liked it (The Dog of the South) - I guess I need to hunt up some more. (  ) steve02476 | Jan 3, 2023 | Great book - if I hadn't seen the movie multiple times, I would have enjoyed this more, so I am giving the 5 stars it deserves. Even knowing what was going to happen in advance, it was still an enjoyable read. If you haven't seen the movie, read the book first for maximum enjoyment. Btw, both movie versions are great.

True Grit
1
Dicen que no se puede saber qué anida en el corazón de un hombre.
En un viaje para comprar caballos, Frank Ross es asesinado por uno de sus trabajadores por una montura, ciento cincuenta dólares y dos piezas de oro.
Con catorce años, Mattie, la hija de Ross, está dispuesta a vengar una muerte que ha quedado impune y a reclamar el cuerpo de su padre. Recurrirá al comisario más «implacable y cruel» de Arkansas, el tuerto Rooster Cogburn. Se adentrará en el Territorio Indio si es necesario. Luchará contra cualquier forajido. Porque Mattie quiere demostrar que el suyo es un corazón noble. Y que su valor es de ley.
