what I thought about "true grit"

I loved this book!  It was fun.  The narration and dialogue themselves make the book a worthwhile read.  It's so refreshing to have a female protagonist upending gender stereotypes without being all, "I'M UPENDING GENDER STEREOTYPES!"  Mattie Ross is complicated and not always sympathetic, but she is delightful.  I'm going to read it to my kids if we ever finish The Eighty-Dollar Champion.
