Olivia B: This was the second reading for me. Just as good as the first! And different from the movie, but I can see that they probably could not have fit all the book into one movie.

Heath Savage: I saw the movie before I read the book, so I had characters in mind when I began reading. Flagg's writing is flawless, and her storytelling is engaging beginning to end. I will wait a year, then read this again, just because I can.

Kindle Customer: I saw this movie back in the 90's, and after watching it 20 or more times over the years I finally decided to read the book. I always loved how Idgie's spirit revolutionized Evelyn's spirit, but I always thought the movie jumped around a lot. The book really jumps around all over the place and has four viewpoints as opposed to the movie’s two. It starts with The Weems Weekly and you get to hear Dot Weems' storytelling voice, another charming southern personality that wasn't in the movie. Then it goes to Evelyn’s current reality, Ninny’s storytelling, as well as scenes that were Whistle Stop history but not part of the stories that Ninny told Evelyn. With so many different viewpoints and a not entirely chronological timeline it would have been easy to steer the story off course into a mess of a train wreck, but the author kept that from happening by giving information in her flash forwards that made the story make more sense as it was told.
For readers and movie watchers alike: be advised that the rest of this review might contain what you’d likely classify as spoilers.
For readers of the book, it was interesting to see that Vesta Adcock, whose Whistle Stop...

Maria Teresa Barreto: I take notes while I read. Instead of writing them on the book itself, I have this journal that I carry around with me everywhere. In it, you will find some of my favourite quotes and some thoughts on whatever it is I am reading. The first note I wrote about Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe? "I could read this book forever".
It’s true. Honestly. This book is life. It will make you laugh, smile, giggle, cry, yell out in frustration… it will take you through the whole emotional spectrum. At the end? You will want more.
I don’t know about you, but I found this book to be exceptionally well put together. Sometimes one gets lost when different voices across different times come together to tell a story, but Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe does it brilliantly. You can pick up on the different tones, and quite distinctively, and yet they blend together perfectly. It’s absolutely fantastic.
The characters, though. What to say about these precious gems? I truly don’t know where to start. I tried to choose a favourite but soon ended up realising that they are all my favourite, this novel is a favourite. Even Dot Weems, the author of...
