Quotes
"Crazy Heart just might be the finest country-western novel ever written, bar none."
- Houston Post
"A measure of Thomas Cobb's talent is that he can make Bad Blake's story amusing even as we watch him fall. Bad is entirely sympathetic, and this crazy heart is vivid; the milieu is as resonant as a steel guitar, and the plot moves along without skipping a beat."
- New York Times Book Review
"Thomas Cobb's marvelous first novel doesn't just play on your heartstrings, it breaks them."
- San Francisco Examiner
"In producing as nearly a masterpiece as the subject has yet attracted, Cobb seems to have triumphed..Cobb has created an unforgettable character who engages not only your interest but your emotion.and who proceeds to take you on a roller-coaster ride through his tawdrily tumultuous life."
- Chicago Tribune
