The All-Girl Fling Station's Last Reunion
by Fannie Flagg **
Rating: Not so Wonderful
It is hard for me to say that any book is bad.  I feel there  must be some redeeming qualities in the story that will enrich the reader in someway.  In Fannie Flagg's, The All Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion, there is a bit of history that I did not know.  I was unfamiliar with the WASP (Women Air Force Service Pilots).  It was interesting to read about the women that were truly the first feminist.  Although Ms. Flagg's pilots are fictional, I did Google the group and admired their courage and willingness to be important players in World War II.  The characters in the book almost drove me crazy.  Sookie Pool the protagonist is whiny, annoying, and unrealistic. Her mother, Lenore Simmons is obnoxious, prideful and deceitful. The dialogue between the two is hard to get through.  There are redeeming flashbacks to the history of the WASP when Sarah Jane finds out that she is adopted, and her biological mother was one of the Women Air Force Service Pilot
