Story4.5 out of 5 stars 79
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.

Publisher's Summary
I had lain in my bed thinking of our visitor out in the bunk in the barn. It scarce seemed possible that he was the same man I had first seen, stern and chilling in his dark solitude, riding up our road. Something in father, something not of words or of actions, but of the essential substance of the human spirit, had reached out and spoken to him and he had replied to it and had unlocked a part of himself to us. He was far off and unapproachable at times even when he was right there with you.
The Starrett family's life forever changes when a man named Shane rides out of the great glowing West and up to their farm in 1889. Young Bob Starrett is entranced by this stoic stranger who brings a new energy to his family. Shane stays on as a farmhand, but his past remains a mystery. Many folks in their small Wyoming valley are suspicious of Shane, and make it known that he is not welcome. But as dangerous as Shane may seem, he is a staunch friend to the Starretts - and when a powerful neighboring rancher tries to drive them out of their homestead, Shane becomes entangled in the deadly feud. This classic western, originally published in 1949, is a profoundly moving story of the influence of a singular character on one boy's life.

Pretty good.
Read it in high school a long time ago and had a hard time finding it. Was really nice finding it on here. Enjoyed it just as much as I did back then.

As Good as the Great Classic Movie
I love this story. I've seen the movie several times. It is one of my favorites. I was concerned the book might be a disappointment compared to the film, or so identical as to not be a fresh tale to me. I was not in the least disappointed. I highly recommend this book for those who love the movie or simply love great storytelling. It offered a fresh perspective from the movie I so love. There were many powerful, heart-touching, unforgettable scenes.

Outstanding reading of Shane
As a child approximately the same age of this young man narrated in this story of Shane, about 11; my mother took me to the theater to see Shane, with actor Alan Ladd and I feel in love with his character.
Hearing the reading of the story from audiobooks has again lit the flame of my love for this enduring Western, Shane.

Just as enjoyable in 2020, as it was in 1949
Great narration too! You'll know Shane is leaning against a post, even before the narrator proclaims it.

Amazing Western
Told from the perspective of a young boy which engages the senses in one zone recollections of times that were simpler and more innocent even though Shane is the baddest dude to walk the west

Through a child’s eyes
A classic western through a child’s eyes gives even the young reader, as young as 10 a desire to keep listening. Eric Dove’s beautiful job with the characters only helped with the story’s flow.

Classic Western Yarn Expertly Spun
from the first few paragraphs, I was fascinated by the mysterious gunslinger known as Shane. The pacing of the story is perfect, as is the classic ending. Well done.
