Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Best Audio Book Ever
Revisado: 02-21-23
Of the 251 audio books I’ve listened to, this is far and away the best. It is a sad tale of disadvantaged youth but it is full of humor. The narrator is phenomenal. His true to life accent and pacing make the story come alive. I felt that I knew Demon as a real person. I was sad that the story had to come to an end. Kudos to Kingsolver and Thurston.

On the right side of the law. Sort of. Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee: his driver, who's also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.

Worst Book Ever
Revisado: 10-22-15
What disappointed you about Rogue Lawyer?
No plot. Just rambling narrative that could have been written by a high school student
What could John Grisham have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not attach his name to it.
Would you be willing to try another one of Mark Deakins’s performances?
Never
What character would you cut from Rogue Lawyer?
Rudd. He is really the only character. All the rest are passive.
Any additional comments?
After reading Sycamore Row I was eager to read Grisham's latest book. Absolutely no comparison. Rogue Lawyer appears to have been written as part of a contractual requirement.
