Book #3 The Sisters Brothers - Patrick deWitt

   My third choice for the year was my first Western themed book and I was not disappointed, I actually think I have found a new favorite genre of fiction.  In this book we find ourselves following the crazy adventure of the notorious Sisters brothers Eli and Charlie.   The two brothers are complete opposites, but despite their differences they have each others back no matter what unexpected hiccup may come up on their quest to find Hermann Kermit Warm.  The brothers are what you would call the old west version of modern day hit men, they do the messy jobs no one else wants to.    I found the story to be a non stop adventure and read the book in a couple days.

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 humour, melancholy, and grit of the Old West and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love
