Book Report: The Devil All The Time

The Devil All the Time

The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very violent and very dark, this is not the kind of book you curl up with before bed. Pollock follows the busted citizens of a post-war no man’s land between Ohio and West Virginia. They’re all here: the preachers, the criminals, and the preacher-criminals and they’re all up to no good, or too dumb to know better. This book does for Appalachia what Cormac McCarthy’s mid-career novels did for the American West.
