Demon Copperhead

I don't think I've ever been invested in a fictional character as much as I was invested in Demon. I laughed, cried and my heart nearly exploded in the end.

This book is not as easy read, it is devastating and sad, but so full of humanity and hope.

Easy 5 Stars!

Fantastic read. It's a modern take on David Copperfield (admittedly, I have never read David Copperfield, so I'm paraphrasing the author here). It's the story of one boy's struggle through childhood, starting with a single parent, then moving through foster care and all the challenges along the way, including references to the Oxycontin problems in the States. It's heartbreaking, funny and inspiring sometimes all in the one chapter! I would go so far as to say it's a modern day classic.

I really enjoyed this. It is an interesting modern reimagining of David Copperfield. Very dark but also very astute observationally and very funny.
