Except for the horrific reflection of animal cruelty in the beginning, I really enjoyed this book. I understand that it sets just what a scumbag Twitch is, but I could've done with out that visual. But, I did delight when the mother crow got her revenge on him. It is set during the years immediately preceding the Civil War. Very few works of fiction have I given a 5 star rating, but this book earned it. The characters are well-developed and make one feel like they know them. This author didn't leave out a thing! I was glad that Winston was the one who got to do Twitch in. But, I was really vying for it to be Willy Jack come out of nowhere to help again.
