![The Sisters Brothers (DVD) [2019]](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81ZTsm41PjL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
The Sisters Brothers is a truly original novel. While it’s a Western, it doesn’t completely feel like it. The writing style is so lyrical and the dialogue flows so effortlessly that it feels more of a satire, an interweaving of humour, brotherhood, intrigue and murder. The two Sisters brothers, Charlie and Eli are hitmen for the Commodore, who has contracted them to assassinate Hermann Kermit Warm. They are both remorseless in killing but Eli wants to try new things and dreams of a different life, perhaps opening a store, settle down with a female, any female - such a sweet guy. His volatile and less sensitive elder brother doesn’t have the same outlook. They are both psychopaths, with a lack of empathy or emotional attachment, and this makes for some witty and entertaining exchanges.
There is nothing predictable about the storyline. While we know the main plot from the outset, it’s an interesting undulating route they navigate through the narration, either planned or unplanned.
It was a joy to just lift this book and let the words flow off. The chapters are short and punchy, underpinning a good solid pace to the story. I actually enjoyed the experience of reading this book.
