shannak 's review for:
The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop
by Fannie Flagg
Ranking it as 4 stars, but really 3.5, and only because of nostalgia and loving the original so much. I had the privilege of listening to Fannie Flagg, the author, reading this story, the continuation of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. If I had to read it, I probably wouldn’t have finished it, though I am glad that I did.
Although it is called Wonder Boy, and you think it will be centered around Buddy Jr, it really is stories including all characters from the town of Whistle Stop, so the title is misleading. The thread of the story is non-existent, and rambles along, not in any hurry, kind of like a stubborn donkey. Some threads are abandoned entirely, never picked back up, and leaves you wondering about things. It was hard to keep up with the timeline with all the hopping about, so that is why I rated it the way it is rated.
