Really fabulous. Quick, fun and Mattie's voice is clear throughout with delightful sass.

Donna Tartt's voice for Mattie is perfect.

I found this to be slow for most of the book but it ended up being exciting. Quick read, and I enjoyed it.

I love a precocious young female narrator! Mattie Ross is a badass.
