She Got Up Off the Couch: And Other Heroic Acts from Mooreland, Indiana

Only Kimmel could have added so much personal nuance into the reading of this sequel to "A Girl Named Zippy," . . . Listeners will love hearing the author read. . . .

The candid, self-deprecating humor that suffuses the anecdotes is even more striking when conveyed through Kimmel's sweet but sly voice. Even when she recalls suffering through some fancy occasion that requires her to wear shoes or being in agony after badly breaking an arm, Kimmel manages to make the situation hilarious, and the effect is even stronger in the audiobook than on the page.

. . . read by the author, and any other reading is unimaginable.
