Demon Copperhead Intl

Demon Copperhead had me hoping for the best outcome for the main character Demon the whole story. This was a book with a lot of heartbreak but had a hopeful ending. Shines a light on the opioid epidemic and how it has taken over so many people’s lives. Good book. I want to read David Copperfield by Dickens now to see how these two compare. Great narrator! (listened through Libby)

Characters you're 'rooting' for throughout. An exposé of the worst societal abuses upon communities and it's impact. Amazingly; hope!

Despite a bit of oversimplification of the socioeconomics and politics of the region (mainly at the very end), I couldn't help but be gripped and moved by the story. Hard and dark and also warm and strangely hopeful, written in a compelling voice.
