Good book. Good movie.

Author of fried green tomatoes

One of my all time favorite books. It is delightful.

wrong book

The characters came alive.

Fun read! Makes you smile!

Fried Green Tomatoes captured the sense of life in a small town at that time. The characters seemed so alive that I expected to run into them in real life. T he author has a wonderful talent for capturing the average person and making each one special. Also, the plot was great! I also liked how the past and present came together. I am recommending this book to everyone! I also liked Welcome to the World.....but it didn't have the huge cast of unforgettable characters and the richness of Fried Green Tomatoes, I think

Another of the rare cases when I've liked the film more than the book, Fried Green Tomatoes just made me say "enh." The second novel, Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! was even less likable, though Flagg sure was during her '70s game show days.

I ovo je jedna od knjiga koja je u mojem zamišljenom redu godinama čekala da je pročitam. Ne znam zašto je sad došlo vrijeme za to, ali znam da mi je jako drago da je tako. U ovoj sam priči uživala od početka do kraja - dobro, kraj mi je bio prežalostan i ostavio me je u pomalo sentimentalnom raspoloženju, ali to sam nekako i očekivala.
Kad pišu na ovakav način - stalno preskačući s jednog razdoblja života na drugi i u drugi i u svakom pričajući o drugim ljudima, ali koji su ipak, makar tankom niti, povezani - ljudi se često spetljaju ili se izgube u svemu, pa počnu pisati o nevažnim stvarima i sve se razvodni. Moram reći da se Fannie Flagg u tome zbilja izvrsno snašla i uspjela je napisati sjajnu, zanimljivu priču i to na senzibilan, emotivan, duhovit način. Pisati o povijesti jednoga mjestašca u Alabami, od početka 20. stoljeća pa sve do '90-ih godina, i to sve kroz živote ljudi koji su tamo živjeli, naravno, s naglaskom na nekolicinu važnih oko kojih se vrti cijela priča - nije nešto što bi baš svakome tako dobro pošlo za rukom. Možda uskoro ponovno pogledam i film. A dotad - postoji još nekoliko knjiga F. Flagg, pa ću ih pročitati. Vjerujem, sa zadovoljstvom, baš kao i "Pohane zelene rajčice".

Fannie Flagg is one of my favorite authors!
