The Glass Castle


The Glass Castle, written by Jeannette Walls, is one of the better books I have read.  The first couple pages where Jeanette see her mother digging through a dumpster made me go wow, how could anyone this successful allow her mother to remain homeless.  The book for me was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, I couldn’t put the book down but at times it made me mad, sad, but ultimately very proud of Jeanette and her siblings.  They are truly amazing people and I can’t believe they turned out as good as they did.  I myself grew up in a rather dysfunctional family, and I could relate to some of the situations that is why I found the book to be quite emotional.  I would recommend the book to anyone who is looking for a great read and a true eye opener.  Just when you think you have a bad life you read a story like this and you realize you have had life easy.  If you’re looking for a great book I would recommend it.
