susieliston 's review for:

True Grit by Charles Portis

1.0

---

Okay, another of those books that everyone likes but me. I had seen the first movie many, many years ago, so I already had a vague memory of the plot. For awhile I was rolling along, I thought Mattie was a good character and found a lot of the dialogue amusing. But after awhile my attention started to wander as she wore a bit thin and I became surprisingly bored as nothing much was happening. Then I would be snapped back into focus when suddenly something did and it was unpleasantly violent. And then throw in animals getting killed, and I was just very glad to see the last page.
