This was quite the page turner due to it's short chapters and conversational prose. I enjoyed it.

The Sisters Brothers is an offbeat western about a reluctant assassin and his murderous brother. I really enjoying this book it's an easy read and funnier than I expected with bursts of violence sprinkled throughout. For some reason I keep thinking of the Cohen brothers as I read, it must be due to the random quirky characters that keep appearing. I'm not entirely sure I liked the ending as it was rather anti-climatic. Recommended

DNF 75%. Reminds me of one of those black comedy cult films that all the edgy-cool kids are supposed to like but for me it's just violence, geeky testosterone, and in-jokes that I just don't get. 

I'll forever be haunted by Tub the horse.

I should say I'm not a Western fan, so not the best judge if that's what you're into - I just read it for a book challenge.

recommended to me by my sister I was pleasantly surprised. it's a wonderful book. read it in 2012 and though not my favourite book I read that year it was perhaps the most memorable just by how I was surprised by it.I loved the dark humour and the brothers them self. indeering an likable. perhaps th protagonist more sore than his brother.
worth checking out.
