Book Review of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe
Silvercat avatar reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


Flagg writes a story about a small town with a homey little cafe where everyone likes to hang out to eat some great tomatoes and barbeque. You could say it is a story about a place that artist Norman Rockwell might have painted - as American as apple pie. Or is it? Strange things are happening!

Loved the movie with Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates. The book moves slower, but has a lush and rich narrative. It also has a recipe index for some good down home cooking.
