I just love the tone of Mattie's narration... I have seen the Coen Brothers movie (not the John Wayne) and delighted in the speech, so thought I should give the book a shot.
Donna Tartt as the narrator for this is 💯! I‘m so excited by this surprise
A great story, perhaps not ideal as an audiobook because of all the “he/she said”, but enjoyable nonetheless. Mattie is a kickass character!
Is sewing lingerie while listening to this weird? I‘m not sure I like Tartt as a narrator, she makes such weird pauses...
Teenage Mattie Ross takes #revenge on the man who kills her father in this bloody western. #jubilantjuly
I forgot to do this for ages ...
'People do not give it credence that a fourteen-year-old girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood but it did not seem so strange then, although I will say it did not happen every day.' And then the murders began.

After fighting with #overdrive all morning, I FINALLY downloaded this #audiobook today. Got my #litsypartyofone off to an active start by walking Violet! @Ambrosnazzy
Quick and enjoyable read! I loved Mattie and how matter of fact and bold she was. I saw the newer remake movie not too long ago, but I'll need to watch the original now.
My book haul from the library today! Which one should I start with?
A galaxy of stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% worth every single minute. There has been a hole in my literary heart and his name is Charles Portis. And there has been a voice missing from my head and her name is Mattie Ross. Going to go buy everything this man has written.
Hear @Liberty on @DrunkBooksellers say one of the best living writers is Charles Portis ✅
Ponder why I've never read Portis ✅
Ponder why I don't recall the 2010 movie remake of True Grit and realize I was working 60 hr/week, coaching and marathon training - valid reasons for missing it ✅
Google Portis and rethink the Donna Tartt books I've read ✅http://mobile.nytimes.com/2010/12/20/books/20portis.html
Go to library - check out Portis ✅
