Summary: Outstanding
Review: This is one of the greatest short stories ever written. If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you have no heart. It's a "have heart" test. Capote had a gift and it was on full display in this book. I also recommend his companion short story - "A Thanksgiving Visitor". This is great to read to the family during the holidays. You won't be sorry with these reads.

Summary: Best Christmas Story
Review: This may become your favorite Christmas story! The visual imagery in this autobiograhical short story is memorable. A simple last Christmas between a young boy and his "60's something" cousin will stay with you forever.

Summary: heartfelt story of emotion between the old and the young
Review: Truman Capote is a successful author, especially in the novel The Christmas Memory. This novel is guaranteed to bring strong emotions! If you ever read the novel, you'll even agree that this writing will point out to all the audience that it teaches us something about grown ups need to spend more time with younger kids and all ages. Older people can always inspire kids if they try. Sook is a old woman that has no friends. Buddy being around helps her out more than it does him. The old woman being around Buddy helps him learn to be a good young boy. Buddy keeps Sook company. So she doesn't get depressed and lonely as much. It made me realize how important it is for all families to get along and get close. Everyone is a better person that way. They're no arguements in the family then. The other part of the family does care about others, but dont take time out to understand others. The proof of others not caring anymore is when they want to send Buddy off. He could do just as good there. They just wanted to get rit if of and to be rude to Sook. I think this novel is a perfect novel to show others how important your family can be to you.

Summary: Memories as they should be!
Review: Why more people don't know about this great book, I don't know. I could hardly believe it when I found the story at the end of Breakfast at Tiffany's. I was thrilled when this version came out, with great illustrations.A beautiful family story about love and friendship and fruitcake. The young boy and his distant elderly cousin, both unwanted by the rich people in the larger house, are confined to a cottage, to mostly fend for themselves. But they have a great deal of freedom and an amazing and touching bond. I hate to sound corny, but this story is so sweet and moving and as my 6 year old says, happy-sad. As Christmas approaches, they go about their annual fruitcake making activities, from gathering pecans, to counting up the pennies they saved throughout the year, to purchase fruit and even whiskey from an ominous Indian fellow in the bad part of town. Based in part on Capote's own childhood, this is a story I can whole-heartedly reccomend for all children.
