Demon Copperhead. I paid $16.99 for the book and Apple only downloaded through page 57. Good for the first 57 pages. Frustrated that I can’t read more after paying for the book.

What a story!. Consuming.

Will stay with me forever.. These folks. Their story. I will keep them with me always.

She never disappoints. Great book as always. Like with all her books, some parts hard to read. Always worth it.

Hard read but well worth it. This book is incredible and incredibly hard to read. To think the impact one pharmaceutical company has had on our people is astounding.

Excellent. I love her books. This one is no exception. I read it fast. Couldn’t put it down, in fact. This story needed to be told.

Demon Copperhead. Pure genius!

Absolutely outstanding! Movingly realistic.. Absolutely outstanding! Movingly realistic.

Survival and Perserverence - Demon Copperhead. “Demon Copperhead” masterfully delves into the realities of neglect, poverty and addiction. Demon is an amazingly likable character and his trials and tribulations are eloquently delivered. You feel as if you are on the road with him. Barbara balances the starkness of these difficult issues with amazing moments of human resiliency. A must read.

Important. I loved this novel inspire of being saddened by the reality of how so so many humans were cruelly and intentionally as dictated to the deadly drug all for the financial benefit of one family and their inner circle. Thank you for sharing this story with the world.

Slow but worth it. It took me a long time to get through the book but o enjoyed it. The heartbreak of opioid addiction and poverty are very well presented. The characters were well developed and you were left with hope that all would be well.

Where Hope Goes to Die. Full stop, this is a beautifully tragic book. The main characters journey reminds me of a quote from Thomas Levenson, “…not everyone follows a straight course to the person they might become.” His story is like watching the slowest car wreck of a life happen in front of you. Year after year we Demon try to make the most of a patched together family become and glean wisdom from his raw survival. In the end he finds his own flavor of humanity in the overlapping Venn diagram of life experiences. Beyond Demon’s story is Kingsolver’s heart breaking picture of the reality of the foster care system in America. What makes the pain so visceral is Kingsolver’s inscrutable attention to detail of the struggles of foster children, combined with leaving just the right amount of things unsaid. The gritty and pungently lingering aftertaste of a life in the forgotten parts of America sits on you long after you put it down. Kingsolver has created a story of a place and time where all hope seemingly goes to die. That blame for that bleak state is directly and indirectly laid bare at the feet of America collectively. Kingsolver uses character voice to demonstrate the failure of a country to deliver opportunity to every corner of the land. Along with policies that compound the costs of being poor in America. Such as the evaporating food, housing, and income security in America. Along with the deep social inequalities that affect manifests themselves differently in Rural and Urban America. It makes you wonder why anyone espouses the greatness of America’s unbridled capitalism when the truth on the ground is obviously counter proof. This novel is so beyond heavy that I can’t see how Kingsolver made it through writing it herself. Maybe it was a driving goal to show how all of the America’s people love it, but America does not love all of its people. This is a titanic of a read that feels just the right length for the subject at hand and at the same time not long enough.

D. So many characters. Keep a list as they are introduced. I think she is an excellent writer! My favorite.

Incredible… a masterpiece.. This is one of the best books I’ve read in years. It’s a slow start (but always well written and engaging) in terms of plot… but stick with it. You will find yourself completely riveted by this character and this story. I think everyone should read this book, not only for the entertainment value, but to give us all insight into a world that has been so hidden and needs to be better understood. It is a MASTERPIECE.

Good one. Good one

Demon Copperhead. Demon Copperhead drew me in from the beginning. Kingsolver brought to life timely issues which are difficult to read about, yet she managed to convey hope through her creative storytelling. Highly recommended

A great piece of literature. I feel like I’ve been living under a rock not having heard of this book. The writing is superb. The plot keeps you engaged the entire long read.

OMG!. One of the best novels I’ve ever read! I loved The Poisonwood Bible and this one may be even better!

Def deserved the Pulitzer. So, so good.

One of the best reads ever. The writing, the story. So raw and unbelievably real. This one’s gonna stay with me.

Just wow. Beautiful, painful, poignant and joyful. Loved every delicious page. I want to start it over again just to take the ride.

Fairly decent read. Some parts of the book really drag on so, I skipped around a bit while reading. Other than the drag on parts the story line was touching and a good read overall.

Couldn’t put it down.. Barbara Kingsolver is the only author to grab my attention and curiosity. Having read The Poisonwood Bible in high school, it has been my go-to “re-read” 6 times over. Demon Copperhead turns out to be extremely relatable; both the character himself, and the ever present issue of opioid medications. Must read. And must re-read. 10 out of 10 🩵

Not worth it…sorry!. Terrible! I pushed through it to actually finish it but, wow not worth the hype and way, way to long! I’m in a reading group and I would not recommend.

Fierce.. Stunning. Gorgeously raw. I have never read a book twice, Demon Copperhead may test that rule. Impossible not to get sucked in after the first page.

One of her best.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only did I learn new things, meet, fascinating characters, and thoroughly enjoy myself, but as usual, I also enjoyed Kingsolver’s writing style.

Heartbreaking. Couldn’t put it down, even though it broke my heart over and over. So much sadness, and sadly because it does represent so many wrecked lives. Like always, amazing characters that come to life with Kingsolver’s amazing writing.

Demon Copperfield. A well written story of a boy , his life and the people who inspire and influence him. It’s a good look into the lure and destructiveness of drugs.

Beautiful Coming of Age Novel. Very slow to get into, definitely a coming of age novel. It takes some time. That being said, I really learned so much and understood the characters all along the way. It really became something every beautiful. I feel so grateful for the perspective the author was able to communicate. Definitely worth the read.

Fantastic read. Her writing style always takes me away.

Mesmerizing. I was riveted to this story from the first page. There are so many colorful characters and tragic themes to ponder that I can’t stop thinking about it.

Very engaging!. Top notch story telling grounded in reality.

Double dose. I loved this book so much that upon reading the last word, I immediately wanted to start from the beginning and read it again. The book follows the life of Damon Fields aka Demon Copperhead. His life starts as the only child of a single young mother but no relatives to speak of and then progresses through orphanhood, DSS, finding his paternal familial roots, football stardom, drug addiction and recovery. It is definitely a “wild ride” that will break your heart and then put it back together over and over.

One of the best books I have ever read. This book is incredible. I grew up in southwest Virginia, very close to Lee County where this book takes place, and have experienced rural Appalachia first hand. This book describes everything that I wish other people knew about growing up in Appalachia. Copperhead also perfectly pinpoints the truth about the opioid epidemic in Appalachia, which is too often overlooked. This is a great read and I will recommend it over and over again.

Wow. Beautiful, funny, REAL, gritty.

Great Story. This was such an incredible story. I fell in love with Demon. So much heart.

Good, but expected more.. The book starts off incredible. But it wanders too much in the middle and is redundant. Some of the dialogue seems fake. Good, timely story. Heartbreaking at times.

Masterful word usage. Simultaneously heartbreaking, uplifting, terrifying, inspiring, devastating, and hilarious, this book ushers us into the deep forest of poverty, foster care, and drug addiction in backwoods America through the eyes of a poorly educated but bright and talented, fearless and resilient orphan, Demon. Kingsolver’s use of language is unparalleled, making us feel every knockout punch he receives, breathing a sigh of relief when he gets back up. BRAVA! What a book.

Demon. Demon had an unbelievably hard life, even though people tried to help him at every turn in the road. No one could help him, however, until he was ready to trust himself

Beautiful story. Just loved this story. I actually could feel the highs and lows as described by the main character. I couldn’t stop reading. For better or worse I had to know how the story ended.

Another heart wrenching tale. Heart wrenching and gripping (if long) story that is tough to read (so sad and at times overly graphic) but even tougher to put down. Not unique enough though (Hillbilly Elegy, Empire of Pain) to merit 5 stars.

Fabulous. Heartbreaking, exciting, terrifying but just wonderful. A true rollercoaster of a ride. Barbara Kingsolver has written a true masterpiece.

Gut Wrenching. Sad and so true. Sheds light on what kids in foster care can actually be exposed too and the many obstacles they face. One can make life better, you just have to choose.

Go Demon Go!. So many emotions reading this story! You’ll want to root for Demon every step of the way.

Masterful Pagetuner. Great character development in this story. You easily bond with a few and can’t put down the book anymore. Very captivating and engaging. It’s true page turner. I learned a great deal from reading this book about social injustice and history of our country. Thank you Barbara Kingslover for using your beautiful words to bring attention to such worthy topics. Highly recommend this book.

Did Not Disappoint. Barbara Kingsolver knows how to tell a story and this one is right up there. Excellent character development and plot. Really follows the original David Copperfield story but with it’s own creative process. Truly keeps you glued to the book. An absolute must read but does take a minute!

Different than my past reads. I loved the story telling in this book it was very matter of fact and didn’t sugar coat or hold back at all. As someone who wants to become more of an avid reader this was a great book to get me wanting more. The book really made me think too I loved the main characters way of thinking and found myself disappointed in him and rooting for him all at the same time.

Enjoyed. A well told story. Unfortunately with a lot of truth. You’re always rooting for Demon.

Incredible. Such an incredible author. I loved this book, heart break and all.

Exceptional. 5*. One of my favorite books I have read. Outstanding story. Very well written.
