Read in one sitting

It was nice to have all the fill-ins from the original book of Fried Green Tomatoes. There was a rollercoaster of emotions as you watch the storyline unfold.

Visiting old friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was as caught up with this sequel as I was the original. Sucked in immediately!!! It did my heart good to catch up with old friends and find out a few more details. The book stands on it's own perfectly , but If you are a Tomato Head like me, hearing Buddy's story just brought some closure that I always wondered about!! Read this.........................

So mad

I didn't buy large print, but I received it . Now I have to reorder half of my order plus I lost my free book!

If you liked Fried Green Tomatoes ....

Read this book in 2 days.. only took that long because I had to put it down and go to work one day! It is a wonderful follow up to Fried Green Tomatoes and at times a look into the past and a brief return to that time.. Easy read, fun characters and peeks at some old friends..
