Ebook About Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a now-classic novel about two women: Evelyn, who’s in the sad slump of middle age, and gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode, who’s telling her life story. Her tale includes two more women—the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth—who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, offering good coffee, southern barbecue, and all kinds of love and laughter—even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present will never be quite the same again. Praise for Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe “A real novel and a good one [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller.”—The New York Times “Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved [the Threadgoodes] in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure.”—Harper Lee “This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten.”—Los Angeles Times “Funny and macabre.”—The Washington Post “Courageous and wise.”—Houston ChronicleBook Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) Review :
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 history wasn’t mentioned in the movie, turned out to be Ed’s (Evelyn’s husband) aunt. There was a lot more of the history of the Otis’s, including how Sipsey came to be Big George’s mother, Big George’s children and their eventual history, as well as Smokey Robinson’s past and what became of him. Some of which was kind of gruesome and I can see why it was left out of the movie. You also get a glimpse of Ruth's son Buddy and his family in 1986 at the end of the book, which you also won’t get in the movie. Ninny's is much more of a non-stop rambling storyteller n the book, but just like the movie she's a delight to listen to. I just imagined Jessica Tandy's voice while I read.Idgie's brother Buddy is hit by the train while goofing around with his friends and chasing a hat on the railroad tracks, but Buddy and Ruth did not have a crush on each other, in fact they never met. Buddy was in love with a sexually free woman named Eva whose dad ran the Dill Pickle Club, which is where Idgie became a fixture after Buddy died.While no sexual scenes are written into the book, Idgie and Ruth were clearly in romantic love with each other and wind up living together, something that is alluded to but not made clear in the movie. “You love who you love” seems to be a lesson Idgie learned from Buddy and Eva. The movie alludes to their affair with several different scenes but backs off of outright putting it out there.Ruth has already died when Idgie goes on trial for the murder of Frank Bennett, and it’s Smokey Robinson who comes to her rescue and gets Reverend Scroggins and all the gypsy hobos to come to her aid in her murder trial. Frank Bennett was even more of a jerk in the book than in the movie and while the judge isn’t actually fooled by anybody he has reason to be glad Frank got what he had coming to him, dismiss the case and let Idgie go..Ninny Threadgoode in the book is definitely not Idgie Threadgoode, as the movie suggests at the end. Ninny Threadgoode does make it home after Mrs. Otis dies, then you get a glimpse of 1986 Idgie and her brother Julian running a fresh foods stand at the end of the book but due to the circumstances you know Idgie is not Ninny. I read a review somewhere that made a case for the movie having Ninny and Idgie being the same person in the movie. Ninny could have wanted to keep her identity a secret while she told Evelyn about herself as the younger Idgie. In both book and movie, Ninny was “adopted” into the family, leaving her free to have a crush on Buddy and then eventually marry Cleo. Once the story was told and Evelyn was her friend, Ninny felt comfortable letting her in on her wild life as Idgie..If you enjoyed the movie I think you can still make up your own mind which ending makes more sense and feels better to you. I really liked the movie ending much more than the book ending; it just felt warmer and more uplifting to me, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I would not recommend skipping it. As for me, I went ahead and got the extended anniversary edition DVD Fried Green Tomatoes (Extended Anniversary Edition) of the movie that has scenes left out of the movie. I enjoy both I saw this movie many years ago, and watched a couple more times over the years, last month, the most recent. I always figured the book would just be a slightly longer version of the movie, especially as Ms Flagg wrote the screenplay. Wrong! My neighbor told me the book was so much better, and it is. Think of it as the movie is part one, and part 2 never got made. There is so much more to the story the book tells, that is left out of the movie.Some did not like the way the story jumped back and forth to different times. Not sure why that is a issue, as long as you took a sec to look at the chapter title to see the date.As for the language, and the way the segregated south was depicted, that is how it was, as shameful as that fact is. The folks who did not care for it, are the type who like to just put their heads in the sand, when confronted with something disagreeable. The neighbor who recommended I read the book a elderly Black woman, who still recalls what it was like in the south in the 40's, 50's, all the years before the civil rights movement really gained traction. And she will tell you, compared to what her Momma told her about earlier times, the book is fairly tame.The review who stated that the author must hate the south, is most likely one of those does not want to acknowledge what the south was really like (and the north, to a lesser extent, as well). The author was born and raised in the south, Birmingham to be exact. She still lives in Alabama for about half of each year.If for no other reason, read the book for a good insight as to what life was like for many, in the 20's and 30's.
