Maybe I need to read this instead of listening to the audio. While the narrator was great, I didn't really *get* it.
Anything related to race in America is something I like to read about, so I might give this another try.

Incredible, darkly whimsical, and utterly horrific.

Wow, this was brilliant. I couldn’t take my eyes away from this story. Harrowing and utterly compelling.

Violent, yes, but vivid and emotional also, with a creative structure (including notes from "Dad" about how the story might be changed which reveal more about what is going on here) and lovely prose.

I didn't get it really. I mean I get the point - racism is a horrible thing, war is a horrible thing people are quite horrible but this book didn't moved me not really. I will stay neutral when it comes to assessing it.

For the Devil in America, however, malice itself was the end, and temptation a means only to destroy. Here, the Devil would pursue the righteous and the wicked, alike and implacably, to their everlasting doom…
This would always be a gutting story, but now.... America is just as horrible and bedeviled as it was. Grim, made worse by the fact that this all keeps happening.
