Demon Copperhead - Barbara Kingsolver

 


The second book by Kingsolver that I've read, and one that I picked partly because, you know, it won a Pulitzer and all, partly because a friend I generally recommend book to actually recommended it to me. 


At time I absolutely loved this book, at times I merely liked it, most likely because I often have limited love for adaptations/transpositions of previous novels and because this meant there was relatively little surprise through the novel (I haven't read David Copperfield, but I'm at least familiar with much of its plot). 


Still, no matter my relative familiarity with Uriah Heep (both the character and the rock band), damn U-Haul is a hell of a grotesque and disturbing figure!
