Can't Wait to Get to Heaven (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Not my favorite Fannie Flagg book. It's a cute story about a cute old lady, but like all cute old ladies, they get kinda old after about 5 chapters.... "

" A little thin in it's story, but an easy read when you don't want to think too much. Liked the characters. They were pleasant and nice. The theme of a visit to heaven was thought provoking. Just a sweet read. "

" This was my first ever Fannie Flagg novel. I've read short stories and columns by her, but never a novel . . . and I fell in love. Her development of characters and their stories has such a "southern" flare. "

" What a 'feel good' read. I usually read thrillers, horror and even zombie lit, but I just felt like trying this out for a change and it was just wonderful; fun, engaging, insightful and heart warming. Now I can go back to my intense reading refreshed! "

" cute, makes you laugh "

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

" Quirky characters, hilarious situations, and a nice light read. "

" Entertaining yet thought-provoking book about how our attitude to life colours everything we do and how we perceive life.Very funny in places, but poignantly so. "

" Gentle read. Humorous and touching. Author really captures the details of small town life. Made me wonder what life beyond this one is really like. It was a good listen-to. "

" What a fun third installment to Fannie Flagg's Mississippi-based novels. Amazon.com calls Ms. Flagg a "born storyteller," and the Web site sure isn't lying. From the first page, she pulls the reader in for yet another very enjoyable ride with a cast of endearing, memorable characters. "

" Charming, sweet story. "

" Great book, funny charming, heartwarming "

" couldn't get into this one... "

" I listened to this while running. It made me laugh out loud. It made me cry. I must have looked like a crazy person. "

" I like Fanny Flagg. She's great at developing her characters and they are characters too. It's just a fun book. Light hearted and funny at times. "

" This book cracked me up!! "

" This is another good one by Fannie Flagg. Her books are so light & fun to read. It was quick, funny & made you feel good! "

" I started this thinking it would be a nice no-brainer, but it was just too eye-rollingly painful. I trudged through the first couple chapters and gave it up as too benign, too 'ladies in lavender', too insipid and 'you go girl'. Maybe in a couple decades I'll be old enough to like it. "

" 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. "

" Disappointing. I am a fan of Fannie Flagg's writing, but I found this book to be simple and contrived. "

" A little too idealized christian white bread for my taste but it was a heartwarming story and a light read. "

" What a wonderful surprise this book was for me! I laughed outloud and cried, also.Wonderful book. "

" I have read all of the books in this series. I have a hard time putting down a Fannie Flagg book once I've picked it up. "

" 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. "
