The author wrote this novel in the vernacular of the Ozarks, a place where he grew up. It is a portriat of the "poor and desperate," about a world where methamphetamine cooking has replaced moonshine brewing. I found it almost painful to read at times, but I'm glad I stayed with it, it was worth it!
