True Grit by Charles Portis
2.0

First of all, the audio narration by Donna Tartt was excellent. I don't think another person could have done the story justice.

I loved the movie so I wanted to give the book a try. This was one of the few instances, though, where I felt the movie performed better than the book. I didn't find the narrative as compelling as the nuances in the movie. I did appreciate a western told from a woman's point of view, though. I don't think I could name more than one or two of those and I'd like to read more of these types of books.
