About this listen
Now a major film written and directed by the Coen Brothers
There is no knowing what lies in a man's heart.
On a trip to buy ponies, Frank Ross is killed by Torn Chancy, who shoots him down for a horse, $150 cash, and two gold pieces. Ross's single-minded teenage daughter, Mattie, travels to claim his body... Then she meets Rooster - a man with grit - and persuades him to join her on a deadly quest to avenge her father's murder.
Narrated by bestselling American author Donna Tartt, who brings True Grit - her favourite book - to life with perfect intonation, insight and suspense.

A solid story hamstrung by below par narration
This was an enjoyable, well paced story. However, the narrators voice was a bit dull and her dry mouthed, lip smacking and swallowing between sentences was annoying.

Great main character
A strong young female main character. An adventure story from another time. Worth your time

A Bucket List novel
When reading this I felt like the context and values were very much like other great Southern US literature I have read as well as having the moral overtones of novesl like Little House on the Prarie, To Kill a Mockingbird and the Canadian gem Anne of Green Gables. Mattie can be a tad judgemental about the "Trash" she encounters but she is still a charming character and her insights into characters like Cogburn are profound. I found many a life lesson quote from this classic. Charles Portis is as I think it was a Dahl stated, " The best writer I have never heard of..." The narator's voice and use of vernacular were impecable.

The story is amazing! The performance was amazing!
I wasn’t really looking forward to reading this story but since it was selected by my book club I decided to read it. What a special story and performance.

OK story, not told particularly well.
A decent story, but the narration wasn't great with sloppy editing and an unconvincing voice artist...... She does have a great accent though.
