Bull Mountain by Brian Panowich
3.0
I finally got around to reading this.
Bull Mountain was very readable, the writing was quite simple.
The non-linear structure with its different POVs and periods was irksome at times.
Bull Mountain felt familiar: rough hillbillies, moonshine, methamphetamines, revenge and violence galore.
I didn't like that the baddies were mostly unidimensional psychopaths, I prefer them to be more nuanced.
As I was getting more engaged with the story, in the last 20% or so the plot becomes unbelievable and over the top.
Unfortunately, Panowich failed to make me care one way or another about most of the characters in this novel.
So it's only getting 3 stars.
I received this novel from Head of Zeus via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
