review 1: This book was an intriguing read, and it shows just how much hate can cost. Love is more powerful when it is shared & shown to others, but too often we are afraid of those who seem different or odd to us. This books deals with social norms & mores, but also shows just how far some have come. Though you may not agree with another's lifestyle or choices, you can still show them love & respect. This book has some surprising twists & turns, and it shows just how some of the mountain people took care of their own (and many of them may still live by that code). We can all learn something from this book, about life in general & ourselves.
review 2: Delight hardly seems the right word for a book that deals with such horrific abuse. But this book does delight on so... more many levels. First, for the brilliant writing including the wonderful way Clayton captures the accent and mannerisms of speech. Secondly, for the beautiful rendition of love on many levels. Thirdly for showing strong but flawed characters as well as the terribly flawed with such realism that we can believe they exist even when we don't want them to. A beautiful book in all respects but one. I would have preferred a cleaner ending--one that wasn't quite so detailed and Pollyannish less
