What a joy to read. The dynamics between all the characters is realistic and relatable. And the information about crickets and transplants most interesting but not over the top. In turns heartbreaking and joyful, the story grabs you and doesn't let go until the very last full stop. Highly recommended, and I'm so looking forward to reading more of his books. Review: A Beautiful Story That Stays With You Long After the Last Page - When Crickets Cry” is one of those rare books that touches both the heart and the soul. Charles Martin has a gift for weaving deep emotion with beautifully written prose. The story of Reese and Annie is tender, heartbreaking, and ultimately full of hope and redemption. The characters feel so real that you can’t help but root for them — flawed, courageous, and human in every way. Martin’s descriptions are vivid and lyrical, painting scenes you can see and feel. Beyond being a love story, it’s also a powerful exploration of loss, forgiveness, and second chances. This isn’t just a book you read; it’s one you experience. It made me laugh, cry, and reflect on what truly matters in life. I can’t recommend it highly enough. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,860 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Contemporary Christian Fiction (Books) #9 in Southern Fiction #51 in Small Town & Rural Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (34,933) | | Dimensions | 5.44 x 0.89 x 8.4 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1595540547 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1595540546 | | Item Weight | 12.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | April 2, 2006 | | Publisher | Thomas Nelson | ## Images ![When Crickets Cry - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91pUdD5lAYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended. *by A***R on March 25, 2026* I've just finished When Crickets Cry written by Charles Martin.

This book, “When Crickets Cry”, was as good as the first. His stories are so unpredictable and fresh. There is no foreshadowing of where the story is going so every word, sentence, phrase is like opening a gift. This story chronicles Reese’s love affair with a small, strong, beautiful little girl, Annie, with a heart of gold. She is loved by everyone she encounters, but she is expected to die unless they find a new heart for her. At this point, the reader could put the book aside expecting that the little girl will get a new heart and there will be a nice happy ending, but there is so much more to the story. Reese, the protagonist, slowly tells his story intertwined with hers. Subtle hints are dropped along the way that let us know he has a deep and sad story that he keeps hidden from himself and the world. Mr. Martin takes us on a long, engaging, interesting, and emotional journey to save Annie. Note: I gave it 4 stars because I don't like story lines that are obvious. We know how the story will end, but it's a trip through small town America and the lives of those who live there.
