Such a good book! I felt like some plot lines were a little abrupt or not well thought out, but overall it was a very different story and super intriguing read.

Great book! Had a heart time getting into the first half of the book, but pushed thru and so glad I did! Then ending seemed a bit rushed, however it kept you on the edge of your seat!

I was hesitant to pick this up when I found it in a little free library due to the controversy around the author, but I am so glad that I did. This was an amazing story and I couldn't put it down.

I love a good bildungsroman. This is, for me, just a fine bildungsroman with some great elements. The descriptions of southern cooking make the meals come to life off the page. I would read the courses described (never just “ x character got lunch,” but always the entire meal listed in mouth watering detail).In the same way, the animals and the marsh are described with great detail and are a joy to read. The plot itself, while a compelling story when reduced to the main points, didn’t really feel developed nearly as well as the above was described. The prose in parts were gorgeous, and, for me, that’s really the very best part of this book. I’d recommend it to anyone, but wouldn’t be shocked to hear someone didn’t enjoy it.

Now I'm going to be honest it was an alright book but it just dragged on and on I thought the ending was alright but to get there the book dragged its feet. It really wasn't my cup of tea. I was kinda disappointed with it in all honesty.
