emilyjeanwright 's review for:
Demon Copperhead
by Barbara Kingsolver
NYT Reader's Choice BBOTC #1
I really enjoyed this. I know it is a retelling of sorts of David Copperfield and I haven't read the og so I can't speak to that aspect of it, but I found the way it was written to be a more digestible version of that like southern English that Dickens and Twain wrote in. I used to literally feel like my brain was leaking out of my ears when we had to read their books in school, purely because I found the language hard to follow.
The story elements made this also feel so much more relatable, and kind of heartbreaking. Demon is unfortunately a very lovable character despite his best efforts not to be.
I loved the audio book and the man who read it.
