I started it last night and thus far I am enjoying it. It's just an enjoyable book to read. I like the flow of it. Good choice!
Am I the only one commenting and/or reading this? Well, if I am ok- well, everyone :0) I liked this book- easy, simple, enjoyable, and funny book. Made me think about my own upbringing. I wondered if people would think it was strange or normal- I think about it and think it's normal- but then it always seems what you do is normal- and then you tell other people about it and compare it their upbringing and realize it may have been a little off compared to mainstream America. Zippy was a fun girl and I liked her- I am curious about her and what she is like now as an adult. Anyways, if anyone else reads it and wants to discuss it- I am ready to roll!
Wow you are quick. I'll be honest, I just started it today. I've been trying to finish up another book, but I'm on track now and will for sure be done by the end of the month.
