RaveForeword ReviewsThis is an astounding book—in verbal pyrotechnics ... The novel is carried forward on torrents of dialect. At times comical, at others nonsensical, the local patter is a revelation of character ... this first novel is provocative and shocking, full of imaginative vim and stylistic vigor. While not without flaws, among them forsaking a hero worthy of redemption, John Crow’s Devil deserves to be read by anyone interested in powerful storytelling at its best.
