Rating:  Summary: Don't waste your money. Review: I know Ms. Flagg is a good writer; let's hope this is her worst work. The characters are one-dimensional and stereotypical, the story lines are all over the place, and it's just a dull read. I don't like books that *try* to pull at your heartstrings. This one's worse--she tries, and fails miserably. A book club pick that was the biggest dud ever.
Rating:  Summary: A WONDERFUL SUMMER READ!! Review: After reading WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY GIRL, I purchased this book and found it to be one of the best books I read in a long time. Fannie Flagg?s characters of Elmwood Springs, Missouri seem so real that I felt as though I could have known them myself; and was very saddened when the book ended. I hope that Fannie Flagg will continue to write such wonderful well-written hometown stories as this one. Thank you Fannie Flagg!
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Read Review: This book was phenomenonally great from start to finish. From the first chapter, you are mentally intrigued and begin memorizing each new character's behavior, and mannerisms. Dorothy is one of the best characters, she never says a mean or ugly thing about anyone, she's available for anyone that needs her, and with each bit of love and kindness that she offers she gets it back 10 fold. You begin anticipating the growth of each character as the story unfolds and years go by. In the end each character has evolved in such a different way from their original self that you feel proud reading about them, for the most part.
