Demon Copperhead: A Novel Audiobook

" This is one of the best books I’ve “read” in years! The writing is clear, simple, and dazzling. I loved living in Lee County with all of these characters. The only thing I did not like was that it ended. "

" This is an amazing story, and so completely detailed but I had to struggle to keep reading as I found it fairly depressing. It was very educational and full of interesting facts, but still hard to accept. Some of the situation is, for example football were too detailed the depressing part was the child abuse, and then hearing all of the drug history. An education in itself. "

" To make a long story short (LOL) Demon Copperhead is an emotionally charged story about survival in rural Appalachia. It’s a compelling account of what it means to be human – struggling against all odds to make something out of nothing. Truly inspiring and very highly recommended! "

" Barbara Kingsolver captures the rugged beauty, culture and struggles of the Appalachian region of the U.S. with vivid language that paints a realistic picture of life in rural poverty and its attendant struggles. Her prose is captivating, drawing listeners into the world she has created, allowing them to share in her characters’ experiences. The narrator amplifies its emotional resonance with an expressive performance that effectively conveys both the humor and heartache of the characters with sensitivity and nuance. Demon Copperhead is an evocative story that shines a light on underrepresented social issues while exploring themes of family, identity, love and loss. It’s one of the best novels I’ve read this year! "

" This book was a great recommendation from Oprah Winfrey and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I did however feel like the narration faltered here and there with some of the accents but that's not unheard of with dialects like this. It barely detracted from the story. "

" Demon Copperhead is a rather captivating story set in the rugged and picturesque Appalachian Mountains and told with great warmth, heart and insight into human nature. It's an oftentimes dark tale about poverty and loneliness but it's also full of moments that made me smile. Kingsolver’s characters are fully realized—they're complex individuals who can't be boiled down to a simple stereotype or archetype—and her writing also touches on themes such as love, friendship, family, loyalty, courage and strength. Additionally the narrator’s voice work brings out the beauty of the Appalachian landscape and its people, as well as the struggles they face on a daily basis. From its vivid portrayal of Appalachia to its compelling storyline of one brave boy trying to make his way in the world against all odds - there's something here for everyone. "

Set in a small Appalachian town with vivid descriptions of the characters and their struggles, this book will definitely keep your interest from start to finish. Charlie Thurston’s narration adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the novel. His voice is soft yet powerful and his storytelling style is captivating, allowing listeners to really get immersed in the story. His ability to capture all of the nuances in Barbara Kingsolver’s writing creates a truly immersive experience which allows readers to experience Demon Copperhead through more than just reading it. The book itself is full of insight into Appalachian culture and daily life while still focusing on universal themes such as love, loss and identity that everyone can relate to. Check it out and I'm rather sure you'll agree! "
