" Wonderful and entertaining. I highly recommend this book. "

" Sweet book written in the voice of a 14 year old boy. Good old southern read. Just a joy to read. "

" I absolutely adored this book. I loved the narrator, the characters, the subject matter, the storytelling, the dialect...all of it! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Olive Ann Burns is a master of the art of writing effortless stories about life that instruct and inspire. "

" great story, dialogue makes me want to read it out loud and i start talking like the characters do in my head to myself! nice to get my fix of southern fiction, comforting favorite reads make me feel warm and fuzzy "

" I read this book in high school and it has always stuck with me. "

" A very nice story. The characters truly come alive. The narrator, Will makes you feel as if you are experiencing his life. I really felt as if I knew the town and the characters and was sad to leave when the story was over. "

" It was a cute little book. Amusing, but nothing too deep or interesting happens. "

" I was endeared to these characters and imagined my own ancestors' lives and experiences as I read. It's Southern, which is usually a good thing when it comes to books. "

" I love this book. I was reminded of it when I was talking to Kelly today. This is one of those yummy, easy to read books that I want to read again. "

" Didn't like it as much as Fried Green Tomatoes, but still a good book! "

" Love the writing. "

" I loved this story and the characters. I am planning on purchasing this one for my home library. "

" I really enjoyed this southern perspective, at the turn of the 20th century. It is not an epic plot. despite it's length it is not particularly emotionally involved. But it is a very lifelike story whose characters I liked a great deal. "

" Loved this one. I even cried a little at the end...I'm excited to read the sequel, I hope it's as good as this one was. "

" I enjoyed this book. It was entertaining, humorous, and nostalgic. The characters were real and likeable. "

" Boy howdy, did I like this book! "

" This was the first book that made me laugh out loud. I came to adore the richly written characters. "

" Excellent book! Written about a small town in the year 1906. Narrarated by a young teenage boy about his family and their interesting lives. A good read. One you won't want to put down. "

" This is one of my favorite books EVER! It shaped me in so many ways that I never even realized until I reread it as an adult. "

" You'll love this one! "

" I LOVE COLD SASSY. The character's are so alive and the imagery so vivid. The story perfectly exemplifies how an alteration in a society's belief system can affect each individual. "

" thank goodness I am FINALLY done this book. "

" A story of the rural south in 1906 where even those from Baltimore are considered Yankees. "

" This book is so fun. Grandpa remarries a 30 something year old three weeks after grandma dies. "She's as dead as she'll ever be". Parts of this book really had me laughing. I would have given the book 5 stars, but near the end it lost its light heartedness. Still, this was a very fun book. "

" Finished it for the third time, for our book club - and it is STILL one of the funniest books I've ever read, and very moving. Set in early 1900s in GA - and my Southern friends says it rings true. Grampa Blakeslee is a truly unforgettable character. "

" Guess I wasn't really in the mood for this book and felt like I just had to get through it. I probably would have liked it a different time. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I actually listened to it on CD and the accents he used really added to the reading. "

" Cute, humorous and a fun read. "

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

" will tweedy love simpson loma grandpa blakeslee lightfoot "

" Very fun, very good read. This is full of rich characters with multi-layered development. It's a definite must-read! "

" 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 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. "

" Easy read. It's hard not to like this book. "

" I loved this book. I can't believe that I waited so long enjoy it! "

" The ending definitely leaves you hanging and wanting more of the rest of the story. It's a great page turner though! "

" 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. "
