1.0

DNF the audiobook at 3:30. It was on track for a 5-star review until a clumsy attempt at a life lesson for Buddy came at the expense of a fat woman gospel singer. Flagg really dug in about how she took up the whole doorway, needed 2 stools, took half a pie to go, and was the fattest woman anyone had ever seen. She was the fattest fat who ever fatted apparently.

Give it a rest, Fannie.

P. S. To those wondering if we're going to call Ruth and Idgie's relationship what it is—As of the 3:30 marker the closest we get to the word "lesbian" is "special friend".
