L'ho appena finito e già provo una forte nostalgia. Mi manca Whistle Stop, mi manca la signora Threadgoode, mi mancano Ruth e Idgie.

Rimandavo la lettura di questo libro, perché non ero sicura mi sarebbe piaciuto; non essendo né thriller, né d'avventura o azione, pensavo mi avrebbe annoiato. È stato l'esatto opposto.

Forse sono riuscita a finirlo velocemente anche grazie alla lunghezza dei capitoli, che, essendo tanto corti, ti invogliano a leggerne sempre di più.

No davvero, a parte questo, "pomodori verdi fritti" è un vero spasso. Scritto bene, scorrevole, divertente, a volte leggero e altre volte più profondo e che tratta di temi importanti!

È un libro che considero vada letto almeno una volta nella vita.

3.5 rounded up. Being that the movie is one of my all-time favorites, I expected to enjoy the book more than I did. The timeline jumped around quite a bit. So much, that had I not seen the movie, I would’ve been very lost. I did enjoy hearing more details about some of the supporting characters, however. Great story, great characters, I just would have liked the timeline to have been a little more linear.

Loved the Towanda of it all! Some of the characters' language around race is hard to listen to, but mostly stems from the setting and age of the book. (audiobook version)
