Download Cold Sassy Tree Audiobook

" This is one of my top 5 favorites of all time! A coming of age, family saga, told through the eyes of a 12 year old boy. Grandma has just passed away, and Grandpa announces "she is as dead as she is ever going to be!"....we are allowed to watch the extended family deal with all the ensuing issues in a most intimate way, through Will Tweedy's eyes, and the vision is priceless. "

" I loved this book! Will Tweedy as narrator stole my heart. "

" The last 100 pages was where stuff finally started happening! Too bad I had to read the 300 before that. It was a nice story, but it was a little too long for me. "

" loved this book. my husband really liked it, too. (btw: this was an audiobk for me and the narrator was awesome). I first thought it was just a book of funny stories but it developed into many deeper subjects and left me thinking after the book ended. oh, and i adore the characters. "

" This was a very well written story that kept me engaged throughout. I was surprised to find some religious content thought was quite thought provoking. I would definitely recommend this book! "

" I finally finished it! I enjoyed it, but boy did it take me a long time to finish! "

" A heart warming story, set in 1904 after the civil war. Very southern. Loved the vernacular and the characters. A little sad at times and not as uplifting as I would have liked. The book has an overall message that is good for anyone who has ever lost a loved one. "

" I give it 3 1/2 stars, almost a 4. For some reason I couldn't really get into it in the beginning. But it got better and I loved the end. "

" If you want a nice novel about what it was like to live in the South during the early 1900s, this book is for you. The book really is about everday life, there is no other plot or purpose. Enjoy. "

" I tried reading this book 15 years ago and couldn't finish it. I just finished it this week and really enjoyed it a lot. A great look at the south in 1906... some of the stories are quite entertaining. "

" A wonderful book on many levels. Enjoyable story, interesting characters, and a portrait of small town Southern life before Civil Rights. I highly recommend reading it. "

" This book is about a family were people get married at a bad time I think the book was okay. It is not in my top ten list of favorite books. It is hard to understand because it is written in old southern language. "

" Loved this when I read it five years ago. I am listening to the audio version right now and am loving it even more! Classic. "

" This was about a dysfunctional family in a small Georgia town in 1906. Pride and social etiquette try to dictate the norm but grandpa will have none of it. Charming and fun. Liked it. "

" My Dad bought me this book because it's his favorite... I wanted to like it for my father's sake but did not care for it. The narrator was annoying and seemed dim for his age. "

" Cute, humorous and a fun read. "

" It was a sweet story and had some good values, but was a little slow. "

" Just couldn't get into this one. The whole small southern town this just doesn't do it for me. "

" I kept waiting for the plot to start... "

" I don't know how this book escaped me before. It's wonderful. Will Tweedy may be the best fictional character ever, made only more better by the fact that Neil Patrick Harris played him in the movie version. "

" Awesome book - a story that seems frozen in time. Highligh recommend. "

" The book was written very well. There were a few points where I stopped reading to ponder something I'd read. However, I didn't really see the point of it. Excellent characters, but no plot. "

" Excellent book! Felt like I was reading a mark twain novel. Lively characters and humorous adventures. "
