Lady Chevy, Woods - D

                    On the recommended lists, but a horrible, depressing read. It is set in today's southeastern Ohio, deep in the heart of fracking induced Appalachian poverty and dead ends. Everyone is a miserable miscreant. We have a h.s. senior murderer, her KKK grandfather, her obese adulterous mother, a police sheriff who takes the law into his own hands, an Afghan vet suffering from PTSD and filled with hate, a lecherous guidance counselor and on it goes. I get that Appalachia is hopeless and horrible, but couldn't the point be made with one decent soul in the whole town.
