True Grit by Charles Portis
I really enjoyed this book about a
cocky, stubborn girl who's father was killed by a drunk and rather stupid
criminal. As the eldest daughter, she takes it upon herself to track
down the criminal herself with the aid of a marshal with "true grit",
Rooster Cogburn, and reluctantly, a Walker Texas Ranger. She tries to
hold her own in her own stubborn way in a world and environment she does
not belong, never once letting that get in her way. The book is funny
and a great read.
I do have a complaint. I listened to it on CD and
HATED the woman reading. She's was so noisy that it was distraction. I
nearly shut it off several times as I felt her noises were too much to
handle. I recommend reading this one and not listening to it.
