[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m another who hated it, despite loving several of Kingsolver’s other books. 1)[b] I did not find Demon’s voice authentic. What child narrates like an adult? What drug addict sounds so coherent? [/b] 2) I felt zero, zip, connection to many of the characters in this book. The Coach? Hardly knew him. The supporting characters were super under developed. 3). Show v tell. It’s one of those books that tells tells tells for hundreds and hundred of pages. I found myself skimming. I’m sure staying loyal to David Copperfield was a huge challenge and probably prevented her from making better choices. I think it’s one of those books you love or hate. Frankly I think a lot of people like it because it’s Barbara Kingsolver and she’s so respected…she got away with the flaws. [/quote] The child of addicts. As one, I can tell you how quickly you become the acting adult. This book was spot on with so many things as the child of an addict. [/quote]
