Title: Leaving Cold Sassy
Product review: Those who have read the marvelous "Cold Sassy Tree" by Olive Ann Burns will be sorely disappointed by this sequel. There is none of the charm and story telling mastery of the original novel in this pitiful book. It seems to be put together hastily and by people who did not care that it would bring shame to the original. Olive Ann was ailing when she wrote the few chapters of this sequel and it is almost as if a different person were writing it. It seems rushed and does a wonderful job of destroying the main characters that the original developed so beautifully. If you have read Cold Sassy Tree and are wondering whether or not to read this sequel, be warned, if you read it you would have a bad taste in your mouth and will feel cheated.This book will take away from the warmth that you felt when you finished reading the fine book, Cold Sassy Tree.Those who decided to go ahead and print these few chapters did Olive Ann Burns and her readers a disservice.
