1: Boring
I can't believe all the good reviews for this book. It is a boring book. There is no substance to the book and it is poorly written. The author just rambles on about nothing.

2: A Great Buy
This is a laugh out loud book. Told from a childs perspective. If you can remember back that far, you will LOVE this book. Beautifully written.

3: Most Cleverly Written
How does Kimmel do it? She grips the reader into a tale (based on her very skewed childhood memory) and then she throws the reader a curve ball. Sometimes, it's the very last sentence of a memory or the last word. It is that insightful nugget of information that allows the reader to know so much more about the situation than the child-storyteller does.
I laughed out loud through so much of this book, and when I was done, I wanted more, so I picked up She Got Up Off the Couch. It's a book you will want to share.

4: Sweet, funny, uplifting
This was the first book in the memoir genre that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. Zippy is told from the author's childhood voice, is full of humor, and takes you back to when you were a kid having the same thoughts. I'm amazed that someone could remember so much about their childhood and tell the story in such a fun way. It's a quick, easy read and will leave you feeling uplifted! I also recommend it's sequel - She Got Up Off The Couch...

5: Deserted-Island Read
ZIPPY makes the short list of books I would take on a deserted island; it makes my heart sing. It makes me want to write.
