Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" If you liked the movie you'll love the book, it's a must read. "

" I LOVE, LOVE LOVED this book!! "

" Not my usual read, but I really enjoyed the writing style and the story. "

" The intimate relationship much more evident in the book than in the movie, this adds depth to all of the characters, definitely worth reading. "

" I've seen the movie many times and I think the movie did a very good job of capturing the best parts of the book. I think I may even like the movie more than the book, a rare occurrence. I think this book is charming. "

" I thought I knew what I was getting into when I started this novel, but I had no idea! I watched the movie about ten years ago and really couldn't remember too much about it besides there being a tom boy, a railroad accident and a nursing home. What I couldn't remember was the heart of the story... And wow, what a story! I must admit that when I realized I was going to be reading about the lives of two lesbians I almost gave up on the book. I'm so glad I didn't! Thankfully, this story wasn't a lesbian romance. It was a story about family and love and being happy with who you are. I wish I was able to more emotionally connect with the characters though. I wasn't too crazy about the layout of the story and spent a lot of time confused trying to figure out who was who in three generations of characters. I felt like all the newspaper articles and different narrations did give the story a more authentic feel though. In the end I was left with a smile on my face after I turned the last page and it was worth the time I spent reading it. I must get my hands on some friend green tomatoes and give them a try! P.S. I found Evelyn to be extremely irritating! What a weak, pathetic and annoying woman! I'm so glad I don't have to read about her complaining anymore. "

" Absolutely fantastic book loved every page and wanted to be part of that town eating in the cafe "

" Fannie Flagg in great form with a mystery, lovestory and a coming of age tale. "

" This is one of my all-time favorite books. "

" This novel is surprisingly deep. I love myself a good Southern-style read, there's something very sweet and homey about the prose. I didn't like it quite as much as I liked "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," but I think "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" has a bit more substance. "

" i just love this book. no book makes me cry and laugh out loud while i am reading more than this one. "

" Can I re-wind and read this book for the first time again? Lovely. "

" This book is just superb. A wonderful word painted picture of southern American issues ranging over a number of decades. The characters are warm and real. I loved it! "

" Never knew this was written by Fannie Flagg! Love the book, love the movie.. but ummm won't eat fried green tomatoes. "

" Loved this book! Can't believe I waited so long to read it! "

" this is laugh out literature! cant believe i havent read it before now! "

" Loved the film so decided to read the book. Not disappointed. A book I will read again and again. Would love to have known a Ninny Threadgoode. "

" This was my first Fannie Flagg book and I could not put it down. Much better than the movie. "

" Love, love this novel. One of my favorites that I reread every few years. "

" this type of love story is just not my cup of tea. Plus, the main characters didn't interest me. "

" I read it but don't remember a thing about it, so I couldn't have hated it, and didn't love it. Once I tried to make a fried green tomatoes pie. It was disgusting. "

" Now I have to watch the movie! "

" One of my all time favorites, along with Fannie Flaggs Red Bird Christmas. "

" If you recall Fannie Flagg as the perpetually smiling game-show diva, someone famous for being famous, you might over look this book. Don't. "

" Another Southern story with a grand cast of quirky characters. Tons of heart, mixed with a dash of murder and personal victories. Fannie Flagg's sense of humor makes this story sing. "

" I must say this is one book, maybe the only book I have ever read, where the movie was better. Read it if you must, watch the movie to enjoy. "

" Towanda the Avenger...... Need I say more about this beautiful, heartwarming story about old age, friendships between women and life stages! A beautiful blend of the present day with the old South to tell a great story of Ruth and Idgy. "

" Una lettura sorprendente, proprio come la ricetta da cui prende il titolo. Gli ingredienti sembrano semplici e ordinari, la preparazione non mostra grandi difficoltà, ma alla fine il risultato è una pietanza estremamente sostanziosa e per nulla scontata. "
