Einleitungssatz
Everyone in Elmwood Springs and thereabouts remembers the day they put the radio tower in Neighbor Dorothy's backyard, and how excited they were that night when they first saw the bright red bulb on top of the tower, glowing like a cherry-red Christmas light way up in the black Missouri sky.

Format:Taschenbuch
Ambitious Dena Nordstrom works as TV newscaster in New York City in the 1970s. She is intelligent, successful, and satisfied with her chosen profession, yet the change of TV news into sensationalism makes her question her career. After a breakdown she returns to her hometown Elmwood Springs in Missouri. It's there where Dena finally gathers her strength to face and solve the mystery of her mother's past which still haunts her.
Fannie Flagg succeeded not only in creating a strong female protagonist but also in bringing to life some truly colorful and intriguing supporting characters such as Dena's friend Sookie or her relative Aunt Elner. The dialogues are realistic, fresh, and often hilarious. Slowly but steadily the reader is drawn deeper into Dena's world, wanting to know more about her life with every twist and turn of the storyline.
"Welcome To The World, Baby Girl!" is one of those books which make you both happy and sad -- happy because its message is throughout positive and life-affirming, yet sad because it's hard to part with the cast. So pick up the book for an entertaining read with characters whom you will remember a long time after finishing the novel.

I loved "Fried..." and "Daisy...", and enjoyed parts of "Welcome..." However, my overall impression of the book was less than favorable. I thought it was too cheesy. The "good" characters were too good. The "bad" characters were too bad. Gerry, the nerdy doctor. Oh, God, totally one dimensional character. Wasn't likable in the very least. Loved Aunt Elner, though. I thought the mystery behind Dena's mother was so lame, I put the book down with 30 pages to go and didn't touch it for days because I was so disappointed with that revelation. There wasn't one word or action in this book that wasn't predictable. I could have written it myself word for word after reading only the first chapter. Except the end. I wouldn't subject ANYONE to that ending. I believe Flagg has an excellent grasp on small town America. She's a great storyteller when she's telling an original story. I've read this one a million times before by a million different authors.

I "libraried" the unabridged tape of Welcome to the World Baby Girl". It had a great plot once you got into the story. What fun to associate the characters...Walter Cronkite was easy...but I keept trying to figure out who Dena was exactly!!! This is a delightful, sad book. How far have we come, this society of ours...lets not forget what it was like just a few decades ago. Fannie Flagg has her wonderful assortment of lovable oddballs and that, combined with a suspenseful plot adds up to a solid four star!!! Read it. You will enjoy!

An amazing feat
WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY GIRL was my first Fannie Flagg novel; I'm sure it won't be my last. The intricately structured plot alone is enough to earn the five stars -- patience... Lesen Sie weiter...
