Summary: This book is completely sentimental and unforgettable
Review: I would give this story six stars if I could. I fell in love with this book and the movie. Mrs. Flagg is a magical storyteller. She brings the town of Whistle Stop to life. I want to visit Idgie, Ruth, Sipsy, and Big George in their little café and eat a plate of fried green tomatoes.

Summary: One of the best books I have ever read.
Review: Fried Green Tomatoes was one of the best books I have ever read. It made you laugh and cry. The characters all had so much personality and feeling, it was like I was really right there at Whistle Stop or with Ninny and Evelyn at the nursing home. I think one of the best parts about the book was how the stories, though happening at different times and being narrated by different people, all conected and worked together to become one story about life. I also enjoyed how Fannie Flagg brought Ruth and Idge's relationship into the story, but was never shoving it in your face. We need more books like that that show gay relationships but don't center on them. This book is a must read for everyone.

Summary: Ugh!
Review: Dr.Seuss books are more believable than this book. Her overly comical approach is entertaining and humorous, but does not add to the deeper meaning of the book, which is, I believe, real and genuine friendship. Comedy is an important element, but too much of a good thing really takes away from the value.

Summary: Perfection
Review: Very seldom do I have an experience which I consider to be absolutely perfect. Listening to Fannie Flagg read "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" is one of those experiences--one which I have enjoyed over and over. I feel sorry for people who only watched the movie--they missed so much clever plot detail (how can you improve on Evelyn catching a fleeting glimpse of the Threadgood house of old?). And I feel sorry for those who only read the book. If you haven't heard the rich southern dialect of Fannie Flagg, you have truly missed out on one of the joys of the story.

Summary: What a wonderful book!
Review: This book ranks up with Pat Conroy's PRINCE OF TIDES in terms of interweaving plots and historical tie-ins. Idgie and Ruth remind me so much of two great-aunts of mine that have passed away. This is a great book, even if you were not raised in the south. I highly reccomend it!

Summary: A OK BOOK
Review: FRIED GREEN TOMATOES I watched the movie Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe twice; this is the first time that I have read the book, and I think I enjoyed the book even more than I enjoyed the movie. I really felt that this story was exciting. It kept me going all the way through. The whole time it was exciting for me because the book tells two stories at the same time, and either one or the other has something going on. One story was about Idgie and Ruth, and the other was Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to a fat woman named Evelyn, who was sharing her personal problems with Mrs. Threadgood. Mrs. Threadgood is and old lady who is in a nursing home. Evelyn is a fat lady who comes to visit her once a week. Mrs. Threadgoode tries to help her through her problems by telling her her life story. She also tells about Buddy getting killed by a train while flirting with a girl, and how much that his death hurt Idgie. The whole time I wanted to know more and more, What next and where? Idgie fell in love with Ruth when she came to town for the summer, when they were both very young. They have a lot of fun when Ruth is there but when it is time for Ruth to go she becomes very emotionally upset. The story includes the Threadgoode family. It also includes a black family Big George his sun and wife, and mom. I think that the book had just as much detail, if not more than in the film, in certain parts in this story. I liked the way the book described the scene of Ruth's husband getting killed. Ruth's husband got cracked over the head by a frying pan. Later we find out that George's mom killed him. Big George made steaks out of him to hide the body, and his kid got rid of the clothes. The book does an even better job of telling how Idgie reacts to Ruth along whith the rest of her family and the town. Idgie fell in love with Ruth and acted very emotional about everything. Everybody in the whole town pretty much loved Ruth. Altogether this book did an even better job of telling the story and it made it seem like you were there. Also in the book it actually told you what certain characters were thinking and feeling. I liked all the character's and I could relate most of them to people I know. The book told you so much about each person's personality. One of my favorites was Idgie because she was such a tomboy, and she was always doing something crazy. Mrs. Threadgoode, who was telling her life story to Evelyn, reminded me of my own aunt quite a bit. Mostly I thin it was her attitude towards life, that was like my aunt. This was a really fun book and I would recommend it to any one who wants to read a well-written, fun, exciting, and adventurous book.

Summary: Lesbians are NOT OK for the youth of america!!!
Review: Idgie and Ruth were blatant lesbians. This book should be banned from schools everywhere as it encourages lesbian and unchristian behaviour.
