True Grit, by Charles Portis

I have seen the movies. I especially like the newer movie. I wasn’t crazy about the older movie. And now I’ve read the book. What a fine story it is. The characters were believable, and I liked the dialogs.

True Grit, by Charles Portis, is a western. Mattie Ross wants justice for the murder of her father and she hires Rooster Cogburn to help find the murderer, Tom Chaney. They are joined by Laboeuf the Texan and become a posse of three.
