Summary: Enjoyable read
Comment: I loved the movie and I loved the book, although in differnt ways. The book has a slew of minor characters that would be too confusing for the movie. If you are a fan of Southern fiction, this book is a must. Even if you're not, check out this title.

Summary: Un-'Flagg'-ingly delightful
Comment: 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe' is the charming story of two women in 1986, one of whom, old and oracular, soothes the angst of the other, middle-aged and depressed, by telling her wonderful stories of her youth in a railway podunk. I'm sure you know all that already. I heartily recommend this novel: it's witty yet meaningful, the characters are sympathetic and easy to get attached to, and the writing is spot-on. There are quite a few typos and errors in my text; perhaps they've been rectified in further editions. Let these not distract, however, from the fact that FGTATWSC is perfect for a swift and entertaining, yet meaningful read. Fannie Flagg, I salute you!

Summary: A Southern Charmer
Comment: This book is a refreshing cool mist in this southern summer heat that I am currently living in
It's a whooping 99 degrees here is Savannah Georgia but that's beside the point
Fried Green Tomatoes... is such a heart warming book, based upon friendship ,courage and the strength to just keep on living. I enjoyed the movie and watch it when it's on the t.v. but the book holds the prize the blue ribbon so to speak the best hog in the fair the best pecan pie and so on down the list of southern talk. I recommend this book 100 percent

Summary: One of my favorite!
Comment: I read this book maybe 10 years ago and saw the movie version again (not as good as the book) this evening on HBO. So I picked up the book again and remembered how I love this book and considered it as one of my favorite. I love the 4 main characters (esp. Ruth & Idgie) as well as the secondary characters, Big George & Sipsey. You could really feel the love, devotion and depth of their friendship. This is a must read. A classic!

Read by Fannie Flagg
Two Cassettes, 2 hours
**Nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Recording**
Here is a folksy and funny, endearing and affecting, southern-fried tale about two very special friendships - now available in Price-Less!
In a small town near Birmingham sits the Whistle Shop Cafe, a place alive with the hungry, the heartbroken, the righteous and the garrulous. The cafe is owned by sweet, patient Ruth, and by Idgie, irresistibly big-hearted and big-mouthed. Their story is remembered, years later, in the Rose Terrace Nursing Home. As elderly Cleo Threadgoode chats with her visitor - the over-stuffed, overwrought, menopausal Evelyn Couch - she casts a hypnotic narrative spell: honeysuckle vines and custard pies; births, deaths and marriages; sorrow and laughter; an occasional murder - and even the recipe for fried green tomatoes. And as the past reaches into the present, the Whistle Sop Cafe touches the one thing missing from her existence: life.
