Demon Copperhead review

Demon Copperhead

I missed a train stop. That's the review.

9/104.5 / 5

Demon Copperhead has a review pile that is mostly people saying it wrecked their week in a way they are grateful for. I missed a train stop. The voice is the whole book, dialect and all, and it holds.The praise is the narrator and the fact it earns the length. The complaints are the length, and readers who find the dialect tiring. A few say it is bleak, which is not a complaint so much as a description. It is a commitment. The reviews that call it one of their books of the year are not being precious.

The one I pressed on people. They came back quieter.
