Inspired me to start reading after a long break.

To me the book was anti climatic, no real ending in sight. Was mainly about addiction & depression. I had to move over to an audiobook to be able to finish it. A little boring imo.

Best book ever

This book took me awhile to finish, mainly because I kept putting it down for long periods of time. When I was reading it, I felt like I was fully in Demon’s world. I loved his descriptions, kid-like but so detailed, the way someone who is constantly survival mode learns to observe the world around them. I ripped through the second half of this book so fast, just wanting to know what happened to everyone and desperately wanting him to get a break. Will be recommending this to my friends so we can talk about it.

A beautifully written story.The people of Lee County will be thought of often.

So wonderfully written, sometimes hard to read but what a read!

Great writing, Demon is a smart, funny kid. Several times found myself laughing at his perspective.

Demon Copperhead. Harlan county, oxycodone, meth and trailer trash. This book drew a picture that made me feel as if I was living there, suffering there and rejoicing in the few victories to be won. A book that should be read and lived by parents, politicians, medical professionals, school guidance counselors and all who care about the growing problem with "legal addiction"and life in communities that are not privileged. A compelling account as real as it is fictional. It will live with me for ages to come.

Phenomenal! Gorgeous writing about terrible topics. You root for Damon from start to finish, as you wonder how our society can be so blind and cruel.

It took me a while to get into it because of a reading slump BUT when Demon attached himself to my heart it was over I could not read enough about him.
