This is the funniest book I've ever read. I bought it when it first came out and after reading it subjected my friends to oral readings "from the book of Daisy Fay." I could pretty much pick out any chapter, read it out loud and have everyone in stitches. You know it's funny when your friends say over the telephone "Hey, read us Daisy Fay!" Fannie Flagg has a way of describing Daisy Fay and her antics that make you feel like you are right there with her. The reason I am writing this review is because I'm ordering another copy. I loaned my original out but can't remember to who. If you ever wanted a good laugh this is the book for you!

I read this book and laughed out loud. I gave it to my depressed daughter to read on a long plane ride. She was told repeatedly to quiet down because she was laughing so hard. It's probably the naked truth that is so funny because it's so seldom revealed.Great characters, settings and a twisty plot. You'll love it and I have nothing to gain by telling you this.

Along side Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe this is Fannie's best novel. I can't decide which of the two is better. this novel made me laugh out loud. I recommend this to anyone. anything by Fannie is awsome, don't wait pick it up.

Why read about a girl who is borderline white trash growing up in the South in the 50s? Because it's personal, touching, and funny as hell. Fanny Flagg never fails me, and she has done it again in one of her earlier books which somehow slipped by me until now. Flagg's characters are homey, eccentric, and never dull. I don't see how you could read this and NOT be entertained.

I laughed until I cried reading this book. Fannie Flagg creates yet another world in the south were people are crazy as loons but wiser than anyone expects. Loved this book!
