Kingsolver never disappoints!. Another amazing book by Kingsolver! It grabbed me page 1 and never let go. Such a beautiful story. I could not put it down.

Wow, what a ride.. Excellent read with much thought provoking moments. I couldn’t wait for the next chapter to learn more about the world surrounding Demon.

Great read! Sometimes difficult because it’s so real. She is a master wordsmith. So good!. My favorite Kingsolver book a ten years.

Couldn’t put it down. Seriously couldn’t put this down. This story will stay with me. Read it.

Thundering. Kingsolver never disappoints. I’m in awe of her ability to inhabit the voices of her characters, in particular, Demon. A timely work of absolute genius.

Terrible. Loved the first half. Then she just rambled on. I gave up

Gave It A Try, and….. This idea of using a Dickens novel and rewriting it based on its premise is not new, despite what Oprah or some reviewers might think. It was done far better years ago in the another large book - The Quincunx. It too was filled with glumness and nothing good ever happening. This book is overwhelmingly depressing about a sad topic we have heard much about already. Not sure what purpose it serves at this point other than to depress the reader. Hard pass, despite the excellent writing. The topic deserves more than just a depressing novel.

Extraordinary read!. I loved the humor and forthrightness of young Demon. I missed the humor once he got tangled up even more in the web he could not escape. Kingsolver nailed the football culture of small town high school! I had such longing for Demon and Tommy in their recovery of all things living and resilient. They are champions. There is hope still out there. I only hope there is enough time for those hurting from life made way too hard.

The best book I read this year!!!. Simply beautifully written, an incredible story one I will never forget!!!

Demon Copperhead. This is an excellent novel. I enjoyed the characters and the plot. There are lots of twists and turns but it’s quite coherent. The modern crises in rural America are compellingly portrayed. It’s a bit didactic though.

Disappointing. I quit this book halfway through reading it as it was literally depressing me (both the story and the writing).

Depressing. Well told depressing story; a well tailored hair shirt. Sad that some people have such a life. “Read my lips, no new taxes “ but rampant capitalism yields such misery.

The power of arts.. Captivating read. The first part so sad it is difficult to continue. Again a story where “art” saves a person.

Love foe Lee County and Demon Copperhead. I stumbled on this book and was flabbergasted to find the setting in my hometown of Lee County, VA. My parents moved us to Nashville when I was a child but we make many trips a year to this beautiful, unappreciated heaven on earth the Author so poignantly described. Highway 58 is worth the drive. She has also perfectly described the sad nature of the small, rural towns and the heartbreaking scenes of generations of our Appalachian ancestors. This book made me cry and swell with pride to be from such a remarkable heritage. Ms. Kingsolver truly made Demon Copperhead come to life.

100% Kingsolver. At her very best.. Just read it. You won’t regret it.

Kingsolver at her best. An amazing tapestry of captivating fiction and fact from modern day backwoods VA. I laughed out loud, cried, wanted to move to Lee County and hoped my daughters would never come close to such a place. This is a wonderfully sobering follow up to Beth Macy’s Dopesick. A book to be appreciated on so many levels…

Stupendous!. Fantastic! One of the best books I’ve read this year. Awesome. I read it in 2 days. Love, love, loved it!

The way I burst into tears at the ending. And the way I had to pause regularly to find someone in the house to tell them what I was learning. Best of all worlds, this book. Definitely a top 5 of all time for me.

Heavy sad read. Well written, no doubt about that, but a heavy, hard, depressingly dark book to read. Poverty, domestic violence, child abuse, drugs, addiction, pill mills, opioids, more abuse, industrial poverty, and on and on and on, with very little hope. You’ve been warned now.

Extraordinary.. Authentic & beautifully written, Demon Copperhead is NOT your Grade 8 summer reading requirement -it’s the literary version of a great song covered by an equally great artist (think: Johnny Cash covering NIN ‘Hurt’). This spin on the Dickens classic is at once fresh and new & hauntingly familiar. Ms. Kingsolver’s work proves that the societal issues of Victorian London are alive & well in Gen-X Appalachia. Next up: the author’s take on Great Expectations, set in Boston, circa 1982 (hey, a girl can hope, right?).

Stunning. One of the best novels I have read in many years, but not for the faint of heart or those not up for a painful ride. Alternately sad, devastating, dark, funny and ultimately, uplifting. A laser focus on pressing social issues and the resulting destruction of kids and families, told through an incredibly authentic narrative.
