Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die. The enigmatic and powerful man known only as the Commodore has ordered it, and his henchmen, Eli and Charlie Sisters, will make sure of it. Though Eli doesn't share his brother's appetite for whiskey and killing, he's never known anything else. But their prey isn't an easy mark, and on the road from Oregon City to Warm's gold-mining claim outside Sacramento, Eli begins to question what he does for a living - and whom he does it for. With The Sisters Brothers, Patrick deWitt pays homage to the classic Western....

Fantastic story, narrators voice was a detraction
Revisado: 05-25-12
This is a inventive and interesting story about two brothers who are hired guns in the "wild west" during the time of the California Gold rush. The story is told by Eli Sisters an overweight, thoughtful, loyal, killer. While some of the relationships and conversations may be unbelievable in the context of the story, one cannot help but be drawn to Eli and his musings. Eli, however, can also be construed as annoying and whining. Unfortunately, the narrators' voice reinforced this interpretation of Eli. I finally gave up on listening, and got a print copy of the book. Then I was able to forgive Eli his flaws and enjoy the story.

Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl from Dardanelle, Arkansas, sets out to avenge her Daddy who was shot to death by a no-good outlaw. Mattie convinces one-eyed "Rooster" Cogburn, the meanest U.S. marshal in the land, to ride along with her. In True Grit, we have a true American classic, as young Mattie, as vital as she is innocent, outdickers and outmaneuvers the hard-bitten men of the trail in a legend that will last through the ages.

Great book
Revisado: 11-24-11
The book is excellent. The tale of Maddie Ross is a classic. She is stubborn, pious, judgmental and absolutely inspiring. The tale of uncharted lands, when justice is often taken into ones own hands is a classic. Yet the book does not read like a dated story.
The narration is very good, sometimes I got a bit distracted by the narrator giving different "voices" to the different characters. The narrators essay which follows the book is insightful. The only critique is that having just listened to the book, hearing passages read again seemed unnecessary. That being said, the passages were excellent ones, and worth hearing again.
