What aspect of this book interests you the most? Blue skinned humans, Appalachia of 1930's, the Characters

[Genie, AUTHOR]

Initially I imagined the characters and lifestyle would be most interesting, but halfway into it I think the author's descriptions of the region, flora, fauna, geography, and climate are the most notable. How about you?

All of the information about the region, the Appalachian area, is interesting to me, because my Father's family lived in West Virginia for a time and he was born there. I'm enjoying the characters and their interactions. The poverty is mind-boggling and the fear of the blue skinned humans, by some, is hard to take. I'm really enjoying the book....almost finished.

I learned a lot reading this book. I had been to the Appalachian area, so was aware of the poverty and the rugged terrain. The author's descriptions were so vivid - blue skinned people were completely new to me, so I looked up what I could find about them. I also learned there really is a place called Troublesome Creek. Great book!

Cool, there is extra interest for sure when you have a personal connection.

I so agree, the author is an expert on the flora and fauna and wildlife and weather of the region. Same, I had never heard of the blue skinned, the medical testing done on Bluet is cringe worthy.
