A review by annarichey
True Grit by Charles Portis

3.0

Short and sweet. The main character (Mattie) is unsurprisingly badass. I'm curious if the language (especially slang) is historically accurate. Minus a couple stars for an unnecessarily long and graphic animal cruelty scene.
I'd recommend [b:Reilly's Luck|831903|Reilly's Luck|Louis L'Amour|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465488885l/831903._SY75_.jpg|559616] for readers who enjoyed this: A young but competent protagonist with adventure beyond the standard western genre fare.
