Much better now and I do want to know what's going to happen to Demon, but the story's structured a lot like real life...that is, largely plotless and full of the damnedest twists of fate and coincidences, which is very unlike fiction. I suppose that's the 19th cent "serial" structure showing through.

While I love Demon's narrative voice, none of the reviews mentioned it is told in exactly the same style as 19th century literature. I don't get along well with older lit, so perhaps I won't finish this one.
But being from VA, I love this quote: "Southwest Virginia, we're just one damn thing after another"

Happy to see that you are continuing with this one!
Yes, it is the serialisation issue. This novel really shouldn't have retained so much of the original plot. Have you read the original unabridged Charles Dickens novel?

No, I've never read a full Dickens. Only excerpts and a few short stories.
