Summary: The Funniest Book Ever
Review: I am reordering several copies of this book to read again and share with friends. When I first read it, I laughed until my sides hurt. I actually had to put it away for a few days until my body recovered. Anyone who enjoys outrageous humor will fall in love with Daisy Fay. If you want hours of good old fashioned belly laughs, read this book. It is hilarious!

Summary: Cotton candy
Review: A series of anecdotes that show little discernible relation to one another, and little change in the main character, "Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man" is a light, enjoyable read.Flagg's style is inoffensive; while not especially memorable, neither is it ugly or jarring. I enjoyed the little details she includes about life in the 1950s, such as the Future Housewives-type group of girls that learns to drink tea and make seashell jewelry, irrelevant skills considering that most were the daughters of working-class shrimp fishermen. Overall, this book reminded me of the series books I used to read in junior high. I didn't read them for grand insights into the human condition, but rather for their simple entertainment value. "Daisy Fay" provided a diversion, and told a fun story, but, like cotton candy, offered no lingering substance and no nourishment.

Summary: This is one of the funniest books I've ever read!
Review: Set a spell and listen as Daisy Fay tells the story of her life. From when she and her family leave Jackson, Mississippi to move to run an ice cream shop in Florida, where, in the winter, her father freezes animals to stuff to make more money. Read as she's "healed" by the miracle man in the most hilarious scene I've ever read! Read as her long lost grandfather, helps her to win the Miss Florida or Mississippi or Alabama crown. Against all odds, Daisy Fay manages to keep a postive, joyful, attitude, despite some pretty bad situations not of her own making. This is a heartwarming, well-written book, read it, you'll laugh until it hurts! Fannie Flagg is a genius, read her books in order, Daisy Fay first, Fried Green Tomatoes second, and finally Welcome to the World, Baby Girl. This is time used wisely!

Summary: I'm still laughing
Review: I first read this book several years ago as a teenager and my enthusiasm has not waned yet. Fannie Flagg uses a creative story-telling method to weave the lives of her quirky characters in a small Mississippi town. Although those looking for deep philospophy should look elsewhere, "Daisy Faye" does what it is supposed to do. Lift your spirits and keep the reader guessing what its characters will do next. Sometimes even now, when I'm feeling bummed out I'll pick it up and read my favorite parts.

Summary: Just Plain Fun!
Review: I am a huge fan of Fannie Flagg, adored Fried Green Tomatoes and found equally loveable characters in Daisy Fay. Although this novel can't compare with Tomatoes, Daisy Fay kept me in stitches for the better part of two weeks. I loved seeing Daisy grow up through the years and how her relationships evolved with time. I would also suggest Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons, to compare the voices of the two female protagonists.

Summary: KATIE'S INTERPRETATION OF "THE BOOK"
Review: Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg I read Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg. Despite the name, there is no 'miracle man' in the story. The story takes place on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi during the 50's, and documents the life of a sassy, truth tellin' girl named Daisy and all of her friends. It starts when Daisy is named after a vase of flowers in her mother's room after she's born, and continues on as her father makes new friends that transfer him to a malt shop on the coast. From there, Daisy goes on to become a hero, be resurrected, and witness a murder! I recommend this book because Daisy and her adventures kept me laughing. While it was funny, I also found that Daisy was a bit of a philosopher, and always gave her two cents worth. In conclusion, from the renowned author of Fried Green Tomatoes, I found Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man to be twice as good, with lots of good humor.

Summary: I truly loved this book.
Review: It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a book as much as I did this one. I didn't want it to end and wish Ms. Flagg would write a sequel. Daisy is a delight and this book is a treat!

Summary: Recipe: Some Spice But Something Missing
Review: Fannie Flagg's latest book is an enjoyable, easy read with an ending that might surprise you. The story revolves around Dena Nordstrom, a talented, beautiful news woman who, although SHE doesn't seem to know it, is searching for herself. In addition to Dena there are many other characters who could have been interesting, but who were not fully developed. Several intriguing themes, such as "good news vs bad news" in the media and the "existence of God" add some spice to the book, but if you are looking for another FRIED GREEN TOMATOES...look elsewhere.

Summary: Passing
Review: Fanny Flagg feeds many people's prejudice of small towns encompassing all that is good and large cities harboring all that is evil. In contrast in FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE, the town characters and situations depicted are more realistic and believeable. Flagg needs to recapture this quality in her writing to make her next book as memorable and worthwhile .
