A review by mzfatma
True Grit by Charles Portis

5.0

I read this book years ago before watching the movie. This reading was the audiobook read by Donna Tartt and it is like listening to a radio play. Her voice and characterizations are fantastic. At the end of the audiobook, Tartt reads her essay about the love of this book.

Mattie is one of my fave characters and her name is the inspiration for my own Mattie. Strong, smart and blunt in her views of the world (as Tartt says in her essay).
