Miracle man

Was very funny , the story line goes through life and ways to solve things.

I Can Remember Fannie Flag When She Was On An Early Morning Show On Wbrc Tv In Birminfham. Even For An 8 Year Old She Was Histerical. My Only Regret Is That I Never Got To Meet The Queen Of Comedy!

Hilarious and intriguing

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.

Review of Coming Attractions

"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!

I love this book

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.
