Review title: Sweet and funny
Product review: It's a gifted writer who can credibly recall the voice of a child, and Ms. Kimmel is a gifted writer. Frank McCourt was able to do this exceptionally well in ANGELA'S ASHES (and the film makers weren't able to do it at all). The world does look different when viewed through the eyes of a child, indeed because that child has no other frame of reference. And Zippy's observations made this book funny and touching. I loved the way she viewed her older sister, especially in the beauty contest chapter. I also thought wistfully of days gone by, and how much more freedom Zippy (and I) had in youth. Today, in this much more violent world, I wonder if children can simply wander safely through even the smallest towns, looking for adventure the way Zippy did. And that cover photo! How can you look at that face without smiling?
