A review by alexcarbonneau
Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell
5.0
David joy once mentioned that this novel, paralleled with True Grit from Charles Portis and Robert Gipe's Trampoline would make a hell of a good literature study.
As I can't talk about Gipe's novel, I sure can say that Winter's Bone is reminiscent of Portis' True Grit, except for that fact that this one was WAY up there. WAY, WAY up there.
Woodrell's writing feels like a ton of bricks and I will challenge to a duel anyone who dare say that his sentences are over written.
Instant Classic is a rusty, old cliché that takes all of its meaning here. And I can't come up with a better comparison. That's why Woodrell's Woodrell and I'm here giving stars and comments.
