I listened to this as a companion book to Demon Copperhead--one of my favorite reads this year. It was very long, and at times I felt like I was "slugging through" but in the end I enjoyed the story. I'm a little disappointed in the parallel between the two books. Certainly some of the relationships and names were similar and David and Demon both came from really rough beginnings. But David's bad decisions were not nearly as poor as Demons and the two Doras are not really comparable.
It is a great accomplishment to have completed this read!
