I imagine it is that way in the Ozarks, giving me flashbacks of Deliverance, and the hillbillies that come together seeking vengeance. I almost expected Patrick Swayze and the Next of Kin to come out of the woods. Not people I would want to hang out with.
It reminded me of a bar that reeks of stale cigarette smoke and warm beer, that hasn't seen a cleaning in years. I felt cold, hungry, and dirty while I read it, which is partly due to the writing style. I just wanted to shower after finishing it.
I decided to watch the movie, which was a much tamer version. Gail and Ree did not have any sexual encounters, nor did Little Arthur giving her special mushrooms and raping her appear in the movie. Jennifer Lawrence's performance was stunning though.
