True Grit by Charles Portis

4.0

I am amazed that I liked this book so much: I think it was the voice that Portis created. Donna Tartt writes a pretty plot-oriented commentary at the end, and she did mention what an unusual character Mattie is--and I agree. My guess is that she would be nearly impossible to live with, but she's a brilliant addition to this story, and Portis gets her voice right on. Highly entertaining, but I am glad it's a short book. I think Mattie in large doses would be hard to take!
