Can't Wait to Get to Heaven: A Novel Audiobook

" Pure, unadulterated "fluff', this is a delightful read, as are all of Fannie Flagg's books. Her characters are quirky, kind, down-to-earth souls and if you need a book that will cheer you up and make you chuckle out loud, this just may be one you'd like to read. "

" Recommended by JB as a fun summer read. I did NOT want to like it, a bit fluffy, but I love her style. She IS an easy, fun summer read, and yes, I did laugh aloud at least twice. I wish I knew Elner, but I know a few people with a few of her virtues. Fun, fun. Thanks, JB. lkp "

" This is a really beautifully written book - I really enjoy Fannie Flagg's writing. This book is about how one woman inspired a whole town to live life to it's fullest. Really wonderful story! "

" Hilarious! Not a true view of heaven, but it's fiction. "

" Not as good as "....Baby Girl" but a very quick read and interesting concept. Helps to have met the characters in earlier novel i think. "

" I absolutely LOVED this book! I think it has a good message, but it isn't the exact message I thought it would be when I started reading it. There were a few nice surprises to the way things worked out. "

" A sweet and humourous, box of kleenex kind of story with a sweet message behind it. Made me think, what if? What a nice way of thinking, etc. "

" This is one of my all time favorite books. The characters are rich and deep and you can't help but love them all. Full of heart and humor and just a few tears. A classic in my opinion. "

" This book has some really funny moments and some great comment on human nature. I enjoyed it thoroughly. "

" I usually love Fannie Flagg, but this I loved a little less. And I bought it, too ! Grrr "

" Really deserves 4 1/2 stars. Again, great characters, lots of good friends, and sweet and tearful ending. Great read. "

" What a fun book! Great reading for all ages, a very unique view of arriving in Heaven! "

" Very cute, light hearted book with a wonderful message about being human. Great summer reading or vacation book. "

" Brilliant! But all of Fannie Flagg's books are. Such a sweet story. "

" very uplifting and light reading. Perfect reading for the Holidays as it isn't too heavy. I tells us to live each day to it's fullest! "

" funny, quirky, some weird religious ideas... "

" An enjoyable story about Elner Shimfissle's fall from a fig tree and how that event affects her and others in her community. "

" This is a book I would have never read except it was a book club book. I absolutely loved it. Not a hard read and I laughed and cried throughout the whole book. "

" Great on audio as it is read very well. Enjoyable story. "

" Fannie Flagg never lets me down on a wholesome, sometimes silly book. I really enjoyed this book. Especially after reading some very dry and descriptive books it was nice to read something with conversation. "

" I love the positive attitudes and the joy of just being alive and the beauty in this world. I appreciate reading good, kind, and loving books! "

" I enjoyed this book. Plenty of lovable and unique characters, typical of Fannie Flagg. We need more Elner Shimfissle's in this world. "

" A great light read! Very cute story, although the protagonist was a bit too goody-goody (a couple of times I yelled out loud at her!!). "

" Loved listening to this book. Makes me wish there was an Elner in my neighborhood or family. "

" One of the most pleasant, laid back reads of the year. Fannie Flagg has a way with dialog and this one had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. I love old people (I can relate) and highly suggest this one if you do too. "

" Even better the second time around! "

" Good writing, not crazy about the story. "

" Fun, fast, good read. The small town characters pull you right in to their world and you learn to love everyone of them and their many quirks. Just makes you feel good to read a book like this. I'll be reading some more by this author. "

" Indelible characters, again, and some chuckle-out-loud moments. I was thinking that it was pretty good, but not as good as the last Flagg I read, and then she began to weave and tuck in all the loose ends. Good fun. The theology's a little off, but I was willing to go along for the ride. :-) "

" This is a fun romp through small-town America. When Elner falls out of her fig tree and everyone thinks she has died, Elner learns about the legacy she will leave behind. There are several story lines and many fun characters that all come together to create a great read. "

" This book was SO entertaining. The characters were great and I had many laugh out loud moments. The plot was very unpredictable. I was shocked at the turn of events and it just made me laugh even harder! Really, I debated between 4 and 5 stars for this book, I enjoyed it that much. "

" What's not to like in this book. I am thankful to Fannie Flagg for creating the world and characters of this novel, I'll visit again and again. "

" Aunt Elner has a near death experience. This book is the latest news from Elmwood Springs, MO "

" Good at first, then slow for awhile. But mainly a nice Fannie Flagg book. She's almost always fun to read. "

" buku ini cukup lucu, santai dan mengibur... cerita tentang mati surinya si Elner.. dan bagaimana orang disekelilingnya menghadapi hidup tanpa nenek Elner yang dicintai banyak orang. quite inspires me. "

" This book had a lot of laughs and a little crying. "

" Fannie Flagg, I love your writing! "

" probably one of my all time favorite books. The characters are rich and just seems like you are part of the town and it's characters. I wish my town was as kind and crazy!!! "

" Fannie Flagg perfectly captures southern white Christian rural life in this tale of 80-some-year-old (her age is uncertain since her older sister buried the family bible, the only record of birth dates) Elner Shimfissle's fatal encounter with gravity and the fallout that ensues. "

" Very cute, light hearted book with a wonderful message about being human. Great summer reading or vacation book. "

" A fun, feel good, uplifting book. About the real people of America working and living life with their neighbors and families. "
