Does LaBeouf Die In Connection With The Final Shootout in the True Grit Book??

The two movies have it different. How does the book have it?

He didn't die in the book.

Good book to read. I enjoyed it.

The John Wayne version took the liberty of killing him. The Jeff Bridges version stayed true to the book.

Good read.

Pretty much.

I never did figure out why the Coen brothers put in that entire saga with the guy hanged high up in the tree though. Then people trading the corpse back and forth, and pulling teeth from it.

That added nothing.

I liked the bear man, though.
