Relation As Books The Serpent King
This is an Alternate Cover edition for ASIN B00ZNE17D2Dill 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.

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-thumpingLife is pretty tough for Dill Early. It wasn't always easy growing up as the son of a controversial Pentecostal minister who, along with members of his congregation, handled rattlesnakes and drank poison. But when his father runs afoul of the law and winds up in prison, life gets even harder for Dill. He must deal with the constant bullying of his high school classmates and the suspicion and cruel treatment of former church members and others in his small town of Forrestville, Tennessee.The
THIS. FREAKING. BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I loved it sooooooooooooooo much. It broke my freaking heart and gave me joy and broke my heart some more. It's just so wonderful! And the feels in this book are beyond what I can say in my pitiful little review. All I know is if you have been meaning to read this book and have been putting if off, READ IT - you just might find it as wonderful as I did. The main characters are, Dill, Travis and Lydia and I love them so much! They are
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
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.
Taking place in rural Tennessee, The Serpent King follows the perspectives of three main characters: Dill, Lydia and Travis. I just love a solid friendship trio!It is their Senior year of high school and the story mostly follows their daily struggles of breaking out of the molds set for them by their parents and other adults. In addition to this they are also exploring who they are as people, independent from their families, and what sort of life they would like to lead. This story is incredibly

A week or so ago I claimed that it would be hard to top Dark Matter as my best read of 2016. Turns out I lied. It wasnt that hard at all. Once again Shelby (or more specifically, her NetGalley addiction) gets the credit for putting this one on my radar. Shes a horrible old bitty like me and rarely gives out the 5 Stars so when she raved about The
