This books jumps around a little but it’s easy enough to follow. Of course I’ve seen the movie a hundred times and thought it was time to read the book. Well the book is better than the movie. There was so much more to the story than what the movie showed. A few things are different and a few are the same. But either way this is a great book. I recommend.

A down to earth hysterical read

So we’ll written it’s hard to put down. If you never knew what real people and small town southern America was like from the 30’s to the 80’s, this is a must read. A treasure.

One of my all time favorite movies and now one of my all time faVorite books. Amazing story telling that keeps you coming back for more !

This book is one of the best I've read in a very long time. It brought to life people and places like old friends you've not seen in a long time.

What beautiful storytelling. Heartwarming story of unconditional love, friendship, acceptance and the best tall-tales ever. I saw the movie recently and decided I wanted to read the book, even though the book and movie have been around for a long time. I have to say they were both worth the wait for me. The book, infinitely better than the movie, although I loved the movie too.

Wonderful Southern classic!

So southern and a funny story and a page turner!

Love it it's so cool
