A review by covall
Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! by Fannie Flagg

3.0

Well, this story wasn't a bad story, but I didn't think it was nearly as good as some of the reviews made it seem. I really loved Fried Green Tomatoes when I watched the movie and I was hoping that this would be similar or at least have a similar feel. I kept waiting for some of the funny parts that everyone talked about, but the only part I can remember where I really thought it was funny was when they were talking about death very mater-of-factly on the porch.

Other than that, I guess I just thought the book was alright. I did like seeing Dena change throughout the story. At first, I thought the story was going to be about alcoholism with the way that she was drinking at the start of the book, but this was just a very small part of the book.
