Story
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women - of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Rut - -who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder.

Critic reviews
"The best novel to have ever come out of the South...it is unsurpassed in the whole of American writing." ( The Washington Post)
Featured Article: The Best Historical Fiction Audiobooks
Often based on real people, events, and scenarios, historical fiction gives us the opportunity to learn about worlds and times we will never experience while introducing fascinating characters and stories set in their midst. Sometimes, the genre can even give us a peek into hidden storylines that routinely go unmentioned in traditional history books, showing us that those of ages past are perhaps not so different from ourselves.

Indeed, it is the basis for the legend she created. Gone with the Wind took the American reading public by storm and went on to become one of the most popular books and motion pictures of all time. The book was a phenomenon whose success has never been equaled, but it shattered Margaret Mitchell's private life.

Story
Shocking and controversial when it was first published in 1939, Steinbeck's Pulitzer prize-winning epic The Grapes of Wrath remains his undisputed masterpiece. Set against the background of Dust Bowl Oklahoma and Californian migrant life, it tells of Tom Joad and his family, who, like thousands of others, are forced to travel west in search of the promised land. Their story is one of false hopes, thwarted desires, and broken dreams, yet out of their suffering Steinbeck created a drama that is intensely human, yet majestic in its scale and moral vision.

It’s a classic for a reason
I have loved this book for decades, but this time through I saw it in a different light. The whole theme of this book is what can happen to people because of pride. The Bible tells us that “pride goeth before a fall,” and as usual, it is right. What a difference it would have made in all of these characters’ lives if they had not been prideful, and of course that goes for both Rhett and Scarlett by at least double. If only they didn’t have that need to be right all the time, they could have been extremely happy.
I totally understand how this book is socially and racially offensive today, however, if you are going to read it and learn the great lessons it has to teach, you must keep in mind that the era it portrays and the time in which it was written were very different from where we live now. This book could not be written today and enjoy any success. But if you want to take a look at the antebellum south and it’s aftermath, you will be able to see it in this story. That’s the way it was and although some people try, history can’t be changed. All we can do is learn from it. That is the great value of this story. It screams, ‘don’t be like this!’ and shows us why we shouldn’t be like them.
A word about Melanie. This weak, gray, small person was the strength behind everyone she knew. Too late, Scarlett learned that Melanie was her best friend, perhaps her only real friend, something that some people never have. She was a blessing to everyone because she was not prideful. She stood for truth and righteousness, something that too many in this world lack so badly.
One last word about the narrator. Linda Stephens is nothing short of amazing! Wow! What a performance. There were so many personalities and dialects that she had to capture, and she did it to perfection.

Pulitzer Prize winner extroidenaire!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, this is the ultimate GWTW listen. It is so well done and the story so enthralling. Not to be missed.
What did you like best about this story?
Scarlett and Rhett, of course! I also liked the way it follows the movie sometimes almost word for word. Yes, I know the movie came later and it is a testament to the many authors and directors that the story was so closely adapted.
What does Linda Stephens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
For the most part she has the accents down pat. I really enjoyed her reading. No one can do Rhett like Clark Gable but she gives it a shot.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Gee, I think they did make a movie out of this... I'll think about it tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.
Any additional comments?
Some parts of this book made me cringe with the stereotypes and the glorious klan, etc. but I feel that just like Twain's Huckleberry Finn we need the original story to really appreciate how far we have come today. I don't believe political correctness is accurate or viable in this book. Appreciate it for it's flaws and all.

Fabulous narrator, engaging story
The narrator is excellent. Living in the south I am frequently irritated by imitation southern accents but this narrator was believable in every character, one of the best I've heard. The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is some general frustrations with the book. It is an epic story with wonderful history and narrative. However I frequently found Scarlet's characterization to be unbelievable and contradictory. I'm sure the author was going for complex but I just never bought it. Maybe it's a generational thing, maybe I would have better understood if I had grown up in the 30's?

Classic
This book's leanings are very dated and politically incorrect. That does not affect the good writting, historical value, or realisim. The only bother I have is that it is obvious that the author is very sentimental about the old South and the Confederacy including slavery. The fact that this author could make me understand and even consider sympathizing with the old genteel southern people who had their way of life abruptly abolished is a near miracle. The reader of this title is amazing, breathing life into every character. Last reason that I enjoyed this book is Rhett Butler. He is a handsome, wordly, irreverent man's man. He is the ultimate bad boy with a heart of gold. yes, I know that he is a borderline misogynist and also a murdering racist just like so many others in the book but thats just why this story is so great. There were so many at that time with this mindset and GWTW transports you to that world and to relateable characters. Read/listen to this book

Oh. My. Gosh!
I avoided this book for YEARS. It was too thick and it seemed stuffy. All I knew was the “not today. Maybe tomorrow. Fiddle dee dee!”
I was wrong.
This book is rich with so many parts. Every character is filled with depth. Even the places—Tara and Atlanta are more than just places. They are characters in their own right. The emotions are complex. There is so much growth. In a time where women were timid, this book features so many strong characters from Scarlett to Mammy to even Melly.
These characters are flawed. The story is beautiful. It is perfect.

Wonderful Narration!!
I read this book for the first time in Middle School and have read it several times since. I also love the movie. Now that I'm 40 and DO NOT like romance novels, I wasn't sure that I wanted to listen to it. Linda Stephens is remarkable! She does an amazing job narrating this book! Sometimes you do want to slap the characters upside their heads. But you have to remember the time and how young Scarlet is. The use of the "N Word" is also part of the time. A really great listen and interesting book.

Great Performance
Loved the narrator. This is one of those books I never would have read in written form. Glad I listened to it so that I could get through it. It's really 3-4 books in one!
