I really enjoyed this book. But, of course, I may be a little biased sense I grew up in the county where this book is placed in. I even went to school with some of the descendants of these people, and counted a McCoy as one of my closest friends.
I enjoyed the telling from both sides of the conflict, and (knowing the area) seeing that money truly is the root to all that is evil.
