Review: Deacon King Kong

Deacon King Kong by James McBride
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love McBride's ability to weave these stories together. All the brothers and sisters in the Causes stick together despite the incoming and terrible drug wave. You love Deacon Sportcoat for his ability to survive a brutal past, then you love him because he's kind, then you love him because even though he's a drunk, he has a seemingly supernatural ability to avoid danger, then you love him the most because all these things make him a wonderful person. I laughed out loud SO MANY TIMES reading this book. Poor Earl.
