Finished reading: Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver 📚
@adam I knew going in that Demon Copperhead is a loose retelling of David Copperfield. I read the Dickens classic earlier this year, and at least for me, it diminished my reading of Kingsolver. It felt like really well written fan fiction rather than an original story. If I hadn’t read Dickens first, I’m sure I would have enjoyed it more.
@robertbreen very interesting, and yes — hard to compete with Charlie. Demon Copperhead was last year's pick for my read-along project, so if you want to read my thoughts (and others') on the book, you can find those at zioibi.com/siv9
@adam Thank you so much for sharing your notes and observations. What a treasure you've created here! And it was a brilliant idea to read the books simultaneously.
I don't care what book you choose next summer, I will join you!
@robertbreen thanks Robert, that's really kind — I have to get through five more weeks of this year's read-along first! 😄
