Query: What happened, Fannie Flagg?

I've enjoyed all of Flagg's books but not this one! I finally gave up about a third of the way through this silly and sophomoric disappointment (and I'm one of those people who feels I have to finish a book once I start it). The religious overtones are boring and ridiculous and all but the character of Elner were unlikeable or pointless. Don't waste your time or money on this one; let's hope Fannie gets it right the next time!
