A review by hckilgour
True Grit by Charles Portis
3.5
No matter how many times I come back to this book, it just always holds up. I do usually read it as a physical but did audio this time which I think caused the lower score (I was comparing it to much to the most recent movie).
This book is so fun. And even given its age, Mattie is written so well given the author is a man. She’s realistic, a child, and a girl, and not once did we have men writing women syndrome.
The Wild West aspect is this is so fun. And yes the opening is a bit slow, but Mattie’s spunk more than makes up for it.
