A review by starthelostgirl
The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock

5.0

This is one of those books you don’t know how to describe to anyone else. It’s unflinchingly gritty and awful, and consistently picks out the worst of every situation. It masterfully interweaves the lives of strangers and tells a story you can’t put down even as you’re revolted by it. In the end, it feels more like a journey than a destination. I loved it. I read it in two sittings and I can’t wait to see the movie.
