Must read - By: Mrs. S. E. Hocking, 30 May 2008 
One of the nicest books I have read in years, no one thing I could complain about, except to say it just wasn't long enough.
enjoyable slush - By: love reading, 04 Nov 2007 
This is a very simply written book. It is twee & sugary sweet but I reallly enjoyed it. It made me feel cosy. It is lovely to read at Christmas.
The perfect light read - By: kimbofo, 24 Dec 2006 As much as I hate the term "heart-warming" I can't help but use it to describe this delightfully charming tale set in rural Alabama.
Peppered with plenty of kooky characters -- four widows, a couple of bachelors, a crippled girl & a tame bird -- & a simple plot -- 52-year-old city man with only a few months to live moves to warmer climes & gains a second chance at life, while a young girl abandoned by her trailer-trash family fallls in love with a red cardinal & is "adopted" by a local woman -- A Redbird Christmas is a gentle read that won't tax your brain matter.
Sure, it's a little on the sweet side -- the epilogue is particularly heavy-handed in the saccharine department -- but overalll it's the perfect antidote for the busy yuletide season. Mind you, this novel isn't overly Christmassy, so would make an ideal light read for any time of year.
Warm & cosy - By: T. Chatzakis, 02 Sep 2006 I read this book & couldn't put it down. From the moment I started it I fell in love with the characters & felt like I knew the places where they lived. It's a real feel good, warm & cosy book. Everyone I've lent it to loves it too. This book turned me into a Fannie Flagg fan!
A WARM HUG BOOK - By: Mrs. G. mcmonagle, 10 May 2006 WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS BEAUTIFUL BOOK THE FRONT COVER ALONE IS SOMETHING TO SAVOUR. FROM THE VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH I WAS TRANSPORTED TO A MAGICAL PLACE, THIS BOOK WILL LEAVE YOU NOT WANTING TO PUT IT DOWN TILL THE LAST PAGE,AND THEN YOU ARE WANTING MORE.
FIVE OF MY FREINDS ARE SMITTEN WITH IT TOO AS I HAVE PASSED IT ROUND
LOST RIVER ALAHBAMA IS ONE PLACE I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE.
