Description Conducive To Books The Sisters Brothers

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, transforming it into an unforgettable comic tour de force. Filled with a remarkable cast of characters - losers, cheaters, and ne'er-do-wells from all stripes of life - and told by a complex and compelling narrator, it is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850s frontier that beautifully captures the humor, melancholy, and grit of the Old West, and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love.

Criticism Out Of Books The Sisters Brothers

I enjoyed it very much. The title, the cover, the whole ridiculous journey of the two misbegotten killers and colourful human menagerie they met on their way. The Sisters brothers are ruthless killers but, God help me, I dont know how they even managed to not get killed in that world. The novel is absurd and grotesque, brutal and ugly. But its also funny, you cant help it, just admit that. And all these apparently mismatched ingredients feel suprisingly refreshing. I watched plenty westerns as a

This book has the coolest cover ever. Whats great, though, is that the coolness doesnt end there.Charlie and Eli sisters are Gold Rushera contract killers. Theyre hired for what Eli hopes to be their last job, as hed much prefer to hang his holster and settle down with a nice girlor failing that, the first trollop that crosses his path. It makes no difference to him, really (dude is such a sweetheart). Charlie, on the other hand, is the less sensitive one. Itd be tougher to convince him to make

What the....really not sure what I just read. Yippie-yi-yo-kaye?Like the *cover it's edgy, aptly tagged as 'cowboy noir'. Avoid it if youre looking for a traditional western, no white hats, no riding happily off into the sunset. Same thing if you look for nice characters to bond with. A couple of hired guns Eli and brother Charlie Sisters arent particularly likeable unless you have a soft spot for psychopaths, Elis border-line and brother Charlie full-blown. Hey, they had a tough childhood. Read

This rating is purely for the audiobook publisher, which I would've given negative stars if I could have. I didn't finish this book -- how can an audiobook publisher sell in good conscience an audiobook with only one track to a cd?!

When the Commodore orders the Sisters brothers to kill Herman Kermit Warm and take his mysterious formula, they have no idea the series of misadventures they will endure in the undertaking. I've been interested in this book forever and nabbed it on the cheap when it popped up on one of my ebook newsletter things. It may have been that my expectations were too high but this didn't live up to the hype for me. I liked the characters of Eli and Charlie Sister, natural born killers in the old west.

Update on the movie! Dont watch the movie, read the book. Unfortunately, it did not have any of the atmosphere of deWitts novel. The appeal of the novel is in the voice of the narrator which could not be captured on the screen. Review:Not your classic western novel. Great name, wonderful cover, lovely content, amazing storytelling. Shortlisted for the Booker prize 2011.I was watching a western comedy with Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson when I thought that I should read a proper western novel at
