Book Review - I Still Dream About You




Did you see Fried Green Tomatoes? Of course you did.

Did you love it? Of course you did.

Wanna know why?

You loved it because Fannie Flagg wrote it. And Fannie Flagg represents all that is good about the South. She is deviled eggs. She is hot buttery biscuits. She is homemade ice cream. You will love this book for the same reason. If you grew up in the South, you will recognize so much in this book. Maybe not specific places but character traits and personalities. If you're not from the South, you probably think you're too good to read a book by Fannie Flagg. Let me assure you that you ain't.

There is much to adore in this book. But let me tell you the best part. One of the main characters is a midget real estate agent. Her name is Hazel Whisenknott. For serious people. A midget named Hazel. What else do you need to know?
