kba76 's review for:
The Serpent King
by Jeff Zentner
Travis, Lydia and Dill live in what can best be described as a claustrophobic Southern town. Preparing to leave high school we start with the three best friends caught up in their own personal issues.
None of them have great lives, and they all seem lost.
I found the setting hard to take initially. The extreme religious focus, and the lack of understanding many of the characters show was really hard to take.
There came a point, as we start to get under the skin of the three characters, that I started to get more intrigued. Things didn't always take the obvious route and this was one of those books that got under my skin in ways I wasn't expecting.
Bleak in many ways, but there was an endearing sense of hope too.
