What Members Thought
A very loose retelling of David Copperfield, set in the impoverished rural area of Appalachia in the western part of Virginia. "Demon", real name Damon and nicknamed Copperhead because of his red hair, is the son of a single mother who is trying to get clean of drugs and alcohol. Soon he is in the foster care system and grows up in a society where almost everyone of his age seems to take drugs - and many older people too, because this is the time of mass OxyContin prescription in the USA.

I’m varying between 3 and 4 stars. I enjoyed it. It was certainly interesting, raw, and at times hard to read (in a good way). But it was also long and a bit drawn out. Overall was good, but not the happiest book out there.
