3.0 out of 5 stars very boring/lifeless in the beginning but picks up the pace, 4 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Sassy Tree (Paperback)
When i read a book, i need to start right into a major event, something that will catch my attention! In this book, that didn't happen until about page 200! But even when the the conflict and the story line picked up i still could not understand their dialect! I'm not really into all that southern talk, and i really don't enjoy reading it. Don't get me wrong, because i really respect Ms. Burns' writings, but this particular one was just not for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully written novel that should not be over-looked, 29 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Sassy Tree (Paperback)
This year I was required to read COLD SASSY TREE for my English course. I was a bit reluctant to read it at first considering it's length and other friends comments. However, I started it and found that I could not put it down. The twists and turns of the plot never cease and I became totally caught up in the lives of the different characters. So many differnt personalities and acts are revealed in this novel, you cannot help but to find one character you relate to. I would recommend this book to anyone who appreciates southern pride and tradition...as well as an entertaining story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Left with wanting more!, 8 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cold Sassy Tree (Paperback)
This book was great! I enjoyed the honesty of the book. Using dialect and descriptive writing, Olive Ann Burns gives the reader a taste of small town life in turn of the century Georgia. Additionally, I enjoyed the thoughts and comments of the fourteen year old Will Tweedy. There was humor and sadness in this story, and I did not want the book to end.
