Funniest Fannie Flagg yet. Did you know this book is in print under the title: "Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man"?! Find it right here at Amazon!

I definitely recommend this book to both young and old. It will take you back to a time when life seemed innocent and interesting. I found myself laughing out loud in public and couldn't imagine someone not being touched by such a work of brilliance and humor. CHECK IT OUT! Women...especially encouraged. (Guys would like it too though)

"Coming Attractions" by Fannie Flagg is one of the most brilliant pieces of work I have ever read. It is absolutely hilarious, and very touching. It is about growing up with a young girl, named Daisy Fay. From day one she is getting into trouble. Her mother is busy trying to cover up her and her husband's bad relationship, while all 'daddy' does is sit around and drink Pabst Blue Ribbon all day, so Daisy has plenty of time to sneak in strip bars, be a Jr. Debutaunte and find an albino. The novel is in the format of a diary from Daisy at the age of six until in her twenties. This is a book that I feel every woman should read, you'll see a little bit of yourself in Daisy Fay! I believe the book is still in print, unfortunately, I don't know the name of the new novel.

I love this book. I haven't laughed so hard from a novel since I read Cold Sassy Tree in high school. I recommend this to anyone who feels nothing will ever get better, it might not, but is can get funnier!

This may be the funniest book I have ever read. I recommend it to everyone. I actually ordered from an out-of-print dealer a first edition signed of this. Paid through the nose, but it was worth it.

I read every book by Fannie Flagg, I love this author. she is fun, quirky and touching. this book was a bit different, it was hard to get into but once I passed the half way mark, it was everything I would want from a Fannie Flagg book, interesting characters, the southern culture, rooting for the good to prevail and .....I enjoyed it

This is the first Fannie Flagg book I've read, although I saw the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. If you love coming of age books, or Southern Fiction, or comic drama, or just simply a good read, this is the book for you. It covers the life of Daisy Fay from age eleven to eighteen, and believe me, nobody else has lived the life this girl lived. Heartwarming, funny, it has made me ready to go on to read all of Ms. Flagg's other books. PLEASE NOTE: This is also published under the title Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man. To be honest, I think "Coming Attractions" is a better title.
