Rendition During Books The Serpent King

This is an Alternate Cover edition for ASIN B00ZNE17D2

Dill has had to wrestle with vipers his whole life—at home, as the only son of a Pentecostal minister who urges him to handle poisonous rattlesnakes, and at school, where he faces down bullies who target him for his father’s extreme faith and very public fall from grace.

The only antidote to all this venom is his friendship with fellow outcasts Travis and Lydia. But as they are starting their senior year, Dill feels the coils of his future tightening around him. The end of high school will lead to new beginnings for Lydia, whose edgy fashion blog is her ticket out of their rural Tennessee town. And Travis is happy wherever he is thanks to his obsession with the epic book series Bloodfall and the fangirl who may be turning his harsh reality into real-life fantasy. Dill’s only escapes are his music and his secret feelings for Lydia—neither of which he is brave enough to share. Graduation feels more like an ending to Dill than a beginning. But even before then, he must cope with another ending—one that will rock his life to the core.

Debut novelist Jeff Zentner provides an unblinking and at times comic view of the hard realities of growing up in the Bible Belt, and an intimate look at the struggles to find one’s true self in the wreckage of the past.

I love to suffer.I first read this book as an ARC three years ago, and I remembered nothing about it. Except one thing:It made me very, very, very sad.Armed with that knowledge and that knowledge only, I reread it.I have no excuse other than my penchant for pain.Once again I read this book, and once again it made me SO SAD.I dont necessarily love the characters in this book. They can be kind of annoying (especially one in particular. Okay yes IM TALKING ABOUT YOU, LYDIA, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE

There is a pervading air of mystery throughout the novel keeping me wide awake and curious from the very start even though at the surface, there seems little going on in the plot. Basically about three friends on their last year of high school and how they are supposed to conquer/submit to (it depends on the three characters perspectives) the life that shall follow. While Lydia has it all planned out with her perfect life, Dill and Travis seem resigned with what they already have in their small

Warning: This review will risk some controversy! Just remember if you read it that I approach everything with an open mind and that I know that my opinion does not match everyones meaning I know that we are all different and I would not argue with people on here to prove that my opinion is correct.Overall, I thought this was a great book. It was very easy to read. The story was creative and the characters were interesting. At times, emotions ran high and it hit my feels in all the right places.

This was nowhere near as heartbreaking as I expected it to be and Dill was being a major dick 90% of the time. Honestly I will never get why some people think it is okay to act like a total dickhead, just because your life is shitty or because you had a hard past. I dont think that is an excuse for being an asshole. But this was still very beautiful and moving. I especially enjoyed the writing style and Travis' character. He was so incredibly wholesome. I'd recommend this to everyone who enjoys

This review and other non-spoilery reviews can be found @The Book Prescription If youre going to live, you might as well do painful, brave, and beautiful things. 🌟 Honest Hamad strikes again and hes here to tell you that he was never a fan of the synopsis of the story. He only read this because he loved Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner!🌟 This is Jeff Zentners debut and I have heard great things about it. I wasnt sure if I wanted to read it but after Goodbye days joined my tear worthy books, I needed

Every school has them, kids that don't readily fit in with everyone else. In The Serpent King, we have three teens in their final year of high school, Travis, Dill, and Lydia, who have become fast friends, drawn together by their otherness. They are the irregular weaves, used to being the butt of jokes and providing target practice for bullies, the proverbial square pegs who are never going to fit into the round holes that house their classmates so well.Dill's mother is a bible-thumping

This was SUCH an emotionally taxing read!!! ughhhhIm so drained and no chapterd ever made me cry quite like a certain chapter in here. It was a beautiful poignant read but I did not care for the excessive amount of christian baiting.
