A review by alexcribbs
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

😬 I know this is a beloved book, so maybe my expectations were too high. I loved The Bean Trees by this author, but this one was painfully slow and for seemingly no purpose. 

At one point I legitimately skipped 3 chapters when I saw where something was going
(drug use > drug abuse > drug addiction)
, and it sincerely had no impact on my experience except for saving me a couple hours of reading. 

I grew up in Ohio (iykyk). So this book didn’t give me a perspective I’m not already (unfortunately) intimately familiar with.

TL;DR - Meh 🤷‍♀️
