I LOVED THIS!! I read this for my book club and I was so surprised at how fast paced it was. I found it easy to read yet super engaging. It was hard for me to put down. This book had me staying up past my bedtime because I had to know what would happen next. Great sci-fi book that is not difficult to grasp. I have already recommended this book to my boyfriend, and to any of you out there on BookWyrm reading this review.

The discourse in this book is very important. I would recommend this book to parents or people who want to be parents soon. Although, I found this book to be a conversation starter into this topic. The book was very one sided throughout, and I sometimes found myself pushing back on the author’s advice. Especially in the case of children being less supervised- which I agree with to a point. It just seemed like he was asking readers to take this to an extreme and pushing actual risks under the rug. I think there are more systematic problems that need to be addressed to take all of this author’s advice. (Couldn’t help but think this book was obviously written from a slightly out of touch man’s perspective.) He did address that we need better infrastructure to foster better safety for people/children walking and biking outside independently; but that was mentioned briefly and never brought up again. I thought this book was a good start into this important topic, and I agreed with most of the sentiments and enjoyed the statistics- though I think more research should be done to respond to this book. I will be keeping my eye on new discourse coming out around this topic.

I loved this book! It was fun to read and I enjoyed the unique story! It was complex and fast paced but not too complicated. The writing style is great too. I finished in 3 days which is unusual for me, this book just captivated my attention and flew by! If you’re hesitating to read this because it is deemed a “teen” book, don’t worry about that because it is great for adults too. It’s not childish at all. Loved this! Will definitely read the sequels.

Demon Copperhead had me hoping for the best outcome for the main character Demon the whole story. This was a book with a lot of heartbreak but had a hopeful ending. Shines a light on the opioid epidemic and how it has taken over so many people’s lives. Good book. I want to read David Copperfield by Dickens now to see how these two compare. Great narrator! (listened through Libby)

I thought this was a cute, easy read. Though I found the plot to be boring because it was so predictable. (I’m a sucker for a plot twist!) Also, I know it is the nature of the romance genre, but I personally don’t like too many sex scenes. Could have been a plot twist or something instead… haha!
