Where the Heart Is was an absolutely wonderful story. I lost some sleep due to not being able to put it down, and when I finished the book, I wished that I could instantly forget it so that I could start it over again.

Where The Heart is was one of the best ...if not the best book I have ever read. The way that Billie Letts brought her characters to life was amazing. After reading the book I came away with a good feeling about people in general. I also read The Honk and Hollermore

When Pride Still Mattered: A Life Of Vince Lombardi
by David Maraniss

Scot W Goller
This author has captured something that is not lost, but perhaps buried deep in our national persona. He finds in a legend the complicated intricacies of greatness. The man Lombardi, never a simple character, rose as can all of us, above the petty, despite ourmore
When The Wind Blows
by James Patterson

Ian Sandon
A very interesting book, with James Patterson's usual pounding pace. The descriptions were magical, and the continual twisting of the plot keeps the reader on their toes... I would heartily recommend this to anyone with an interest in the very volatile subject of GM.

Jill Martin
Very refreshing book from James Patterson, I wish he would do more on this order. Cat and Mouse was much too violent. He is to good of an author to do only the one type of book he had been doing up to When The Wind Blows. This was the first one of his my 41 yearmore

This is a very disappointing fairytale, far fetched and illogical. Bring back Alex Cross and tell us what happened to Christine.

Being an avid fan of Fried Green Tomatoes, I was initially disappointed to see that Flagg had strayed from her traditional Southern utopia, but it didn't take me more than a few chapters to fall in love with this fresh cast of characters. I am using Flagg's booksmore

I must confess that I came to read this book long before "Green fried tomatoes" and it really captivated me. I loved the human warmth that transpires from every one of the book pages, I easily fell in love with the characters that became so real, so vivid that atmore

Laura
This book was a bit of a disappointment as I was really expecting another story like "Fried Green Tomatoes." I love Fannie Flagg but she left the south for this one and ended up in the 1970's Manhattan. It's not her best work, but also not a terrible read.

As I finished this book for the first time I turned to the front to begin reading again. It is a captivating story, made all the more so through the way in which the tale is told from so many viewpoints, with the ordinary lives of the characters described so well youmore

I found myself staying up way past my bedtime reading this book. My only regret is that I finished it so quickly.

I couldn't put this book down! Every time I thought I had it figured out, something new would be added. The characters are so real, I think I know them. It's the best of the three of Ms. Flagg's books. Keep up the good work, Fannie.

Welcome To The World, Baby Girl, is hands down the best novel I have ever read. It's not sophisticated, it's not controversial, and it's not disturbing. It's much better. Welcome To The World, Baby Girl is a must-read for anyone who needs to be reminded of allmore

Frieda Weeks
I was surprised that my favorite author left hometown folks to initiate her character Dena Nordstom. However, as the novel progresses, it is obvious that Dena is looking for home as many of us are. I really liked this novel. I am a fan of Fannie since highmore

I'm in the middle of the book. I do enjoy Fanny Flagg's writing style. It's straight-forward and easy to read. Nothing fancy, just enjoyable.

I was a little confused, because the Macky and Norma were mentioned in Fried Green Tomatoes but have no connection, at least so far. (I'm not done with the book) I find it an enjoyable read, but I'm not as in love with the characters as i was in Fried Green Tomatoes.
